TR-69 As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol, it provides the communication between customer-premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It includes both a safe auto configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the boom of the broadband market, the number of different Internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).
Firewall The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). ACL This page is used to IP addresses for Access Control. If ACL is enabled only the IP Addresses that are in the ACL Table can access the CPE.
IP Filter Click “Add a rule” to add a filtering rule. Enable: Select to enable IP filter rule. Source IP: The source IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Subnet Mask: It is the destination IP addresses based on above destination subnet IP Source Port: This Port or Port Ranges defines the port allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.
When you finish, click „Submit‟ to save the settings made. IP Filter Listing #: Item number. Enable: Whether the connection is currently active. Src IP Mask: The source IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Dest IP Mask: This is the destination subnet IP address. Protocol: It is the packet protocol type used by the application, select either TCP or UDP or ICMP Src port: This Port or Port Ranges defines the port allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application.
URL Filter Here it‟s possible to block certain websites. Enter the website you wish to block and make sure the rule is active. Click „Save‟ to apply the new rule. DMZ The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP Address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ Host. Enable DMZ and enter the IP address for which you want unrestricted access to the internet in the DMZ Host IP address.
Virtual Server Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number.
