Game Servers, Application Servers, and Services
You can view and change the Game Server, Application Server, and Services rules from
the Services > Options menu. These are the rules applied to a connection via the Add
New Rule menu on the Firewall Setup and Security Rules screen. (See Modifying an
Existing Connection (NAT, Firewall) on page 16.)
For example, to add a game server:
1. Select Game Servers from the Services > Options menu.
2. Click on Create New Rule. Two entry fields appear.
3. In Rule Name, enter a unique mnemonic containing 1 to 32 alphanumeric
characters and no spaces. For example: master_pastry_chef
4. In Rule Description, enter the full name of the game, or any other identifier. For
example: Master Pastry Chef
5. Click on Apply. The name is added to the Firewall Policy Database for Games
screen, at the end of the list.
6. Select Edit from the drop-down list adjacent to the new database entry. The rule edit
screen appears.
7. Click on Add to add a new protocol and port.
8. Select a protocol and enter a port, list of ports, or range of ports (according to the
option you select). Click on OK. The completed rule is added to the database.
Bridge Options
You can view and change Bridge Options from the Services > Options menu. The Bridge
Options screen allows you to turn on the Spanning Tree feature. Spanning tree is used
to detect whether multiple Ethernet hubs have been cabled together improperly. It is
normally not needed and should only be turned on if you are using multiple hubs behind
your Bridge/Router.
