4.5.1 Virtual Server This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP.
4.5.2 Special AP Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead. 1. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application.. 2.
4.5.3 Miscellaneous Items IP Address of DMZ Host A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of the firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication for Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications. NOTE: This feature should be used only when needed. A software firewall application should be installed on the DMZ host as otherwise it will be unprotected.
4.6 Security Settings 4.6.1 Packet Filter The Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the router. The Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However, the Inbound filter applies on packets that are destined to the Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies: 1. Allow all to pass except those matching the specified rules 2.
U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. The Packet Filter can work with the Scheduling Rules, and give the user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to the Scheduling Rule. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually. Inbound Filter: To enable the Inbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter field.
Example 2: (1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are all allowed. After the Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.
Outbound Filter: To enable the Outbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Outbound Packet Filter field. Example 1: (192.168.123.100-192.168.123.149) They are allowed to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse Internet (port 80); port 53 (DNS) is necessary to resolve the domain name. (192.168.123.10-192.168.123.20) They can do everything (block nothing) Others are all blocked.
Example 2: (192.168.123.100-192.168.123.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are allowed After the Outbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.
4.6.2 Domain Filter Domain Filter Let you prevent users under this device from accessing specific URLs. Domain Filter Enable Check if you want to enable Domain Filter. Log DNS Query Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. Privilege IP Addresses Range Setting to allow a group of hosts the privilege to access the network without restriction. Domain Suffix A suffix of URL to be restricted. For example, ".com", "xxx.com".
Example: In this example: 1. URL include “www.msn.com” will be blocked, and the action will be recorded in the log-file. 2. URL include “www.sina.com” will not be blocked, but the action will be recorded in the log-file. 3. URL include “www.google.com” will be blocked, but the action will not be recorded in the log-file. 4. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.20 can access the network without restriction. 4.6.3 URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites.
the user to input the DNS suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking requires the user to input a keyword only. In other words, the Domain filter can block specific websites, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply providing a keyword. URL Blocking Enable Check if you want to enable URL Blocking. URL If any part of the Website's URL matches the pre-defined word, the connection will be blocked.
4.6.4 MAC Address Control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked. Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless clients can connect to this device.
Control table The "Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control" page. Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected IP address mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table: MAC Address IP Address MAC address indicates a specific client. Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it empty if you don't care its IP address. C When "Connection control" is checked, check "C" will allow the corresponding client to connect to this device.
4.6.5 Miscellaneous Items Remote Administrator Host/Port In general, only Intranet users can browse the built-in web pages to perform administration tasks. This feature enables you to perform administration tasks from a remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0, any host can connect to this product to perform administration tasks.

4.7.1 System Time Get Date and Time by NTP Protocol Selected if you want to Get the Date and Time by the NTP Protocol. Time Server Select a NTP time server to consult UTC time Time Zone Select a time zone where this device resides. Set Date and Time manually Select if you want to set the Date and Time manually.
4.7.2 System Log This page supports two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog(UDP) and SMTP(TCP). The items you have to setup include: IP Address for Syslog Host IP of destination where syslog entries will be sent to. Check Enable to enable this function. E-mail Alert Enable Check if you want to enable the Email alerts (send syslog via email). SMTP Server IP and Port Input the SMTP server IP and port, which are concatenated with ':'.
4.7.3 Dynamic DNS To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use a dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect to your Internet service provider. Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in provider field.
4.7.4 SNMP Setting In brief, SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol designed to give a user the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. Enable SNMP You must check either Local or Remote or both to enable the SNMP function. If Local is checked, this device will respond to requests from the LAN. If Remote is checked, this device will respond to requests from the WAN.
4.7.5 Routing Table Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data packets. If you have more than one router and subnets, you will need to enable the routing table to allow packets to find the proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other. The Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static routing. Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules.
Example: Configuration on NAT Router Destination SubnetMask Gateway Hop 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.216 1 ˇ 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.103 1 ˇ Enabled So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data packet to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (a gateway), And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 they will go via 192.168.123.216 Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
4.7.6 Schedule Rule You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off at that time. Select the “enable” item. Press “Add New Rule” You can write a rule name and set which day and what time to schedule from “Start Time” to “End Time”.
After configure Rule 1Æ Schedule Enable Selected if you want to Enable the Scheduler. Edit To edit the schedule rule. Delete To delete the schedule rule, and the rule# of the rules behind the deleted one will decrease one automatically.
Example1: Virtual Server – Apply Rule #1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20) Example2: Packet Filter – Apply Rule#1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20).
