98 Wireless Bridge WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access points. It’s easy to install, simply define the peer’s MAC address of the connected AP. WDS takes advantage of cost saving and flexibility with no extra wireless client device required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network. Here you can select what role the AP server has, AP or wireless bridge (WDS). AP Mode: determines whether the gateway will act as an Access point or as a Bridge.  Access Point: the gateway communicates with both clients and bridges.  Wireless Bridge: the gateway communicates with other WDS devices only. In this mode, the gateway doesn’t communicate with client devices. If your wireless network includes repeaters that use WDS, the gateway in wireless bridge mode will also communicate with your repeaters. The gateway in wireless bridge mode will not communicate with a repeater that uses a proprietary (non-WDS) mode. Bridge Restrict: When AP Mode is set to Wireless Bridge, this determines whether the gateway will communicate with all other bridges or only specific ones:  Enable: to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC Address the gateway can communicate with. Remote Bridge MAC Address: enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge MAC addresses are supported.  Enabled (Scan): to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those scanned by the gateway can communicate.
99 Remote Bridge MAC Address: select the remote bridge MAC addresses.  Disable: Does not restrict the gateway communicating with bridges that have their MAC address listed, but it is still open to communicate with all bridges that are in the same network. Click Apply to apply your settings.

Select Off to disable this function or auto to enable this function. OBSS Co-Existence: coexistence (or not) between 20 MHZ and 40 MHZ overlapping basic service sets (OBSS) in wireless local area networks. RX Chain Power Save: Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains, going from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power. RX Chain Power Save Quiet Time: The number of seconds the traffic must be below the PPS value before the Rx Chain Power Save feature activates itself. RX Chain Power Save PPS: The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet Time, described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save feature activates itself. Multicast Rate: Setting for multicast packets transmission rate. Basic Rate: Setting for basic transmission rate. It is not a specific kind of rate, it is a series of rates supported. When set to Default, the router can transmit with all kinds of standardized rates. Fragmentation Threshold: A threshold (in bytes) whether the packets will be fragmented and at what size. Packets succeeding the fragmentation threshold of 802.11n WLAN will be split into smaller units suitable for circuit size. While the packets smaller than fragmentation threshold will not be fragmented. Default is 2346, setting the fragmentation too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold: Request to Send (RTS) threshold specifies the packet size, when exceeds the size, the RTS/CTS will be triggered. The default setting of 2347(max length) will disable the RTS. DTIM Interval: Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). The entry range is a value between 1 and 255. A DTIM is countdown variable that informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. AP clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1. Beacon Interval: The amount of time between beacon transmissions in is milliseconds. The default is 100ms and the acceptable is 1- 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an access point. Global Max Clients: Here you have the option of setting the limit of the number of clients who can connect to your wireless network. XPress™ Technology: It has been designed to improve the wireless network efficiency. Default is disabled. Transmit Power: select the transmitting power of your wireless signal. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia): you can choose to enable or disable this function which allows for priority of certain data over wireless network. WMM No Acknowledgement: Refers to the acknowledge policy at the MAC level.

SSID: Show the current SSID of the client. Interface: To show which interface the wireless client is connected to. Refresh: To get the latest information.
103 Schedule Control Schedule control is aimed to offer methods to flexibly control when the wireless network (SSID) is allowed for access. The Wireless schedule only functions whilst Wireless is enabled. The Guest/Virtual AP schedule control only operates whilst the associated AP is enabled. For detail setting the timeslot, user can turn to Time Schedule . Time Schedule: Set when the SSID works. If user wants the SSID works all the time, please select “Always On”; if not, please set or select the exact time your want the SSID works. Here user can set two separate intervals. For example: user wants the SSID “wlan-ap-2.4g” to work on weekdays except for Wednesday, under this circumstance, user can set as shown below. (7820NZ offers a optimal way to set two separate timeslots when user needs to activate the SSID during separate intervals. )

SIM 1 & SIM 2 Mode: There are 6 options of phone service standards: GSM 2G only, UTMS 3G only, GSM 2G preferred, UMTS 3G preferred, Automatic, and Use 3G/LTE 3g dongle settings. If you are uncertain what services are available to you, and then please select Automatic. TEL No.: The dial string to make a 3G/LTE user internetworking call. It may provide by your mobile service provider. APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The
125 service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection, requirements for APNs varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal which they use to connect to a DHCP Server, thus giving you access to the internet i.e. some 3G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value is “internet”. Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The username and password are case sensitive. Authentication Protocol: Default is Auto. Please consult your service provider on whether to use PAP, CHAP or MSCHAP. PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access, and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and you will require a PUK code from your network/ service provider.  Connect on Demand: If you want to make UMTS/GPRS call only when there is a packet requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time. Click on Connect on Demand, the Idle Timeout field will display. Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for a predetermined period of time. Default is 600 seconds.  Keep Alive: Check Enable to allow the router to check the mobile connectivity every 7 (can be changed based on need) seconds by ping the IP address set below the keep the 3G/LTE link active. IP Address: The IP address is used to “ping”, and router will ping the IP to find whether the connection is still on. NAT: Check to enable the NAT function. Firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from WAN side. If enabled, all incoming packets by default would be dropped, and please turn to IP Filtering Incoming to add allowing rules. MTU: MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the size of the largest datagram that IP will attempt to send through the interface. Select default gateway interfaces: Select from the interfaces the default gateway, here commonly we select ppp3g0. Selected DNS Server Interfaces: Three ways to set a DNS server.  Available WAN interfaces: Select a desirable WAN interface as the DNS server.  Static DNS Address: To specify DNS server manually by entering your primary and secondary DNS server addresses.  Parental Controls: If user registers and gets a DNS account in the parental control provider website, expecting to enjoy a more reliable and safer internet surfing environment, please select this option (need to configure at Parental Control Provider).
126 Click Apply to confirm the settings. Here you can configure WAN Service, if it is OK, you can access the internet. You can go to Status >WAN or Summary to view the WAN connection information (Here user can see the 3G/LTE failover).
127 Dual SIM BiPAC 7820NZ offers dual-SIM slots for two mobile SIM cards. The SIM 1 will be in use when two SIM cards are both up. The current SIM connection will fail over to the other SIM connection when the situation below happens. But note when the failover is done, the connection cannot fail back to the previous SIM connection. Failover: Check Enable to activate failover feature. Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failure to switch to the other SIM. Failover Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch to the other SIM once the current SIM connection fails. For example, when set to 12 seconds, the probe will be conducted every 12 seconds. Detect Rule: Choose the probe policy, to Ping Host or when SIM lost  SIM Lost: SIM card absent or not be able to establish connection.  Ping Host Fail: It will send ping packets to host pre-set, and wait for response from it in every “Probe Cycle” to check the connectivity to the mail SIM. Note: The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the other SIM is determined by Probe Cycle multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 12 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails, the router will determine failover to another SIM).
128 DSL This screen allows you to set DSL parameters. DSL knowledge is required to configure these settings. Contact your ISP to make sure that these parameters are correct. Modulation: There are 7 modes “G.Dmt”, “G.lite”, “T1.413”, “ADSL2”, “AnnexL”, ”ADSL2+”, “AnnexM” that user can select for this connection. Phone line pair: This is for reserved only. You can choose "Inner Pair" or "Outer Pair".

130 SNR Signal-to-noise ratio (often abbreviated SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. SNR: Change the value to adjust the DSL link rate, more suitable for an advanced user.
131 System Internet Time The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to get the most current time from an NTP server. NTP is a protocol for synchronization of computers. It can enable computers synchronize to the NTP server or clock source with a high accuracy. Choose the NTP time server from the drop-down menu, if you prefer to specify an NTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use. Choose your local time zone from the drop-down menu. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the NTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an NTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an NTP server for you to use. Click Apply to apply your settings.

DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the types of devices (‘server’, ‘renderer’, ‘controller’) that DLNA supports and the mechanism for accessing media over a network. Overall, DLNA allows more convenience, more choices and enjoyment of your digital content through DLNA certified devices. Any DLNA certified devices or software can access the DLNA server. With USB storage, 7820NZ can serve as a DLNA server. On-board digital media server: Enable to share the device as a DLNA server. Interface: The VLAN group, it is the bound interface for DLNA server accessing. Media Library Path: Default is usb1_1, total USB space (pictures, videos, music, etc, all can be accessed with this path).
152 Take Windows media player in Windows 7 accessing the DLNA server for example for usage of DLNA .
153 IP Tunnel An IP Tunnel is an Internet Protocol (IP) network communication channels between two networks of different protocols. It is used to transport another network protocol by encapsulation of its packets. IP Tunnels are often used to connect two disjoint IP networks that do not have a native routing path to each other, via an underlying routable protocol across an intermediate transport network, like VPN. Another prominent use of IP Tunnel is to connect islands of IPv6 installations across the IPv4 internet. IPv6inIPv4 6in4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6. 6in4 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over explicitly configured IPv4 links. The 6in4 traffic is sent over the IPv4 Internet inside IPv4 packets whose IP headers have the IP Protocol number set to 41. This protocol number is specifically designated for IPv6 capsulation. 6RD: 6RD is a mechanism to facilitate IPv6 rapid deployment across IPv4 infrastructures of internet service providers (ISPs). It is derived from 6to4, a preexisting mechanism to transporting IPv6 packets over IPv4 infrastructure network, with the significant change that it operates entirely within the enduser’s ISP network, thus avoiding the major architectural problems inherent in the original design of 6to4. Click Add button to manually add the 6in4 rules. Tunnel Name: User-defined name. Mechanism: Here only 6RD.
154 Associated WAN Interface: The applied WAN interface with the set tunnel, thus when there are packets from/to the WAN interface, the tunnel would be used to transport the packets. Associated LAN Interface: Set the linked LAN interface with the tunnel. Method: 6rd operation mechanism: manually configured or automatically configured. If manually, please fill out the following 6rd parameters. V4 Common Bit Length: Specify the length of IPv4 address carried in IPv6 prefix, for example, 0 means to carry all the 32 bits of IPv4 address while 8 carries 24 bits of the IPv4 address. 6rd Prefix with Prefix Length: Enter the 6rd prefix and prefix length you uniquely designate to 6rd by the ISP( The 6rd prefix and prefix length are to replace the standard 6to4 prefix 2002::/16 by an IPv6 prefix that belongs to the ISP-assigned.) Border Relay IPv4 Address: The IPv4 address of the border relay. The relay is used to unwrap capsulated IPv4 packets into IPv6 packets and send them to the IPv6 network.
155 IPv4inIPv6 4in6 refers to tunneling of IPv4 in IPv6. It is an inherent internet interoperation mechanism allowing IPv4 to be used in an IPv6 only network. 4in6 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv4 traffic over configured IPv6 tunnels. 4in6 tunnels are usually manually configured but they can be automated using protocols such as TSP to allow easy connection to a tunnel broker. DS – Lite DS –Lite, or Dual-Stack Lite, is designed to let an ISP omit the deployment of any IPv4 address to the customer’s CPE. Instead, only global IPv6 addresses are provided (Regular Dual-Stack Lite deploys global addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6). The CPE distributes private IPv4 addresses for the LAN clients, the same as a NAT device. The subnet information is chosen by the customer, identically to the NAT model. However, instead of performing the NAT itself, the CPE encapsulates the IPv4 packet inside an IPv6 packet. Click Add button to manually add the 4in6 rules. Tunnel Name: User-defined tunnel name. Mechanism: It is the 4in6 tunnel operation technology. Please select DS-Lite. Associated WAN Interface: The applied WAN interface with the set tunnel, and when there are packets from/to the WAN interface, the tunnel would be used to transport the packets. Associated LAN Interface: Specify the linked LAN interface with the tunnel. Method: Manually to specify the AFTP (Address Family Transition Router) address or Automatic. AFTR: Specify the address of AFTP (Address Family Transition Router) from your ISP.
156 Security IP Filtering Outgoing IP filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken. Outbound IP Filtering by default is set to forward all outgoing traffic from LAN to go through the router, but user can set rules to block the specific outgoing traffic. Note: The maximum number of entries: 32. Click Add button to enter the exact rule setting page. Filter Name: A user-defined rule name. User can select simply from the list box for the application for quick setup. IP Version: Select the IP Version, IPv4 or IPv6. Protocol: Set the traffic type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP ) that the rule applies to. Source IP address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es) featured in the IP range. If you leave empty, it means any IP address. Source Port [port or port:port]: The port or port range defines traffic from the port (specific application) or port in the set port range blocked to go through the router. Default is set port from range 1 – 65535. Destination IP address: Traffic from LAN with the particular traffic destination address specified in the IP range is to be blocked from going through the router, similarly set as the Source IP address
157 above. Destination Port [port or port: port]: Traffic with the particular set destination port or port in the set port range is to be blocked from going through the router. Default is set port from port range: 1 – 65535. Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00 - 19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works. And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled or inactive and there will be an icon” ” in list table indicating the rule is inactive. See Time Schedule. Action: Select to drop or forward the packets fit the outgoing filtering rule. Log: check the check-box to record the security log. To check the log, users can turn to Security Log. Example: For example, if there is an outgoing rule set as follows, then the 21 application between source IP and destination IP will be forwarded. Or exactly in the rule below, all traffic trying to access FTP will be forwarded. (The rule is active; disable field shows the status of the rule, active or inactive)
158 (Rule inactive)
159 IP Filtering Incoming Incoming IP Filtering is set by default to block all incoming traffic, but user can set rules to forward the specific incoming traffic. Note: 1. The maximum number of entries: 32. 2. When LAN side firewall or firewall in WAN interface(s) is enabled, user can move here to add allowing rules to pass through the firewall. Click Add button to enter the exact rule setting page. Filter Name: A user-defined rule name. User can select simply from the list box for the application for quick setup. IP Version: Select the IP Version, IPv4 or IPv6. Protocol: Set the traffic type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP ) that the rule applies to. Source IP address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es) featured in the IP range.. If you leave empty, it means any IP address. Source Port [port or port:port]: The port or port range defines traffic from the port (specific application) or port in the set port range blocked to go through the router. Default is set port from range 1 – 65535. Destination IP address: Traffic from LAN with the particular traffic destination address specified in the IP range is to be blocked from going through the router, similarly set as the Source IP address above. Destination Port [port or port : port]: Traffic with the particular set destination port or port in the set port range is to be blocked from going through the router. Default is set port from port range: 1 – 65535 Interfaces: Check if the filter rule applies to all interfaces. User can base on need select interfaces to make the rule take effect with those interfaces.
160 Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00-19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works. And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled or inactive and there will be an icon” ” in the list table indicating the rule is inactive. See Time Schedule. Log: check the check-box to record the security log. To check the log, users can turn to Security Log.
161 MAC Filtering MAC Filtering is only effective on ATM PVCs configured in Bridged mode. FORWARDED means that all MAC layer frames will be forwarded except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be blocked except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. By default, all MAC frames of the interface in Bridge Mode will be forwarded, you can check Change checkbox and then press Change Policy to change the settings to the interface. For example, from above, the interface atm0.1 is of bridge mode, and all the MAC layer frames will be forward, but you can set some rules to let some item matched the rules to be blocked. Click Add button to add the rules. Protocol type: Select from the drop-down menu the protocol that applies to this rule. Destination /Source MAC Address: Enter the destination/source address. Frame Direction: Select the frame direction this rule applies, both LAN and WAN: LAN <=>WAN, only LAN to WAN: LAN=>WAN, only WAN to LAN: WAN=>LAN. WAN Interfaces: Select the interfaces configured in Bridge mode.
162 Blocking WAN PING This feature is enabled to let your router not respond to any ping command when someone others “Ping” your WAN IP.
163 Time Restriction A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN during the specified time. This page adds time of day restriction to a special LAN device connected to the router. To Restrict LAN device(s), please click Add button to add the device(s) from accessing internet under some set time. To find out the MAC address of a window based PC, go to command window, and type “ipconfig/all”. Note: The maximum entries configured: 32. Click Add to add the rules. Host Label: User-defined name. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address(es) you want to allow or block to access the router and LAN. The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. For convenience, user can select from the list box. Time Schedule: To determine when the rule works.  Drop: To drop the MAC entries always; in other words, the MACs are blocked access to router and internet always.  Forward: To forward the MAC entries always; in other words, the MACs are granted access to the router and internet always.  Check or select from listbox: To set the time duration during which the MACs are blocked from access the router and internet. “select from listbox” means that you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” section during which the MACs are blocked from access the router and internet. Click Apply to confirm your settings. The following prompt window will appear to remind you of the attention.
164 An example: Here you can see that the user “child-use” with a MAC of 18:a9:05:04:12:23 is blocked to access the router from 00:00 to 23:59 Monday through Friday. The “test” can access the internet always. If you needn’t this rule, you can check the box, press Remove, it will be OK. .
165 URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Note: 1) URL Filter rules apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 sources. 2) But in Exception IP Address part, user can click to set the exception IP address(es) for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g.to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only. Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). Restrict URL Features: Click Block Java Applet to filter web access with Java Applet components. Click Block ActiveX to filter web access with ActiveX components. Click Block Cookie to filter web access with Cookie components. Click Block Proxy to filter web proxy access. Exception IP Address: You can input a list of IP addresses as the exception list for URL filtering. These IPs will not be covered by the URL rules. Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00-19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works. And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled. See Time Schedule. Log: Select Enable for this option if you will like to capture the logs for this URL filter policy. To check the log, users can turn to Security Log.

169 QoS - Quality of Service QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet) to WAN (Internet). This feature allows you to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. Note: ADSL line speed is based on the ADSL sync rate. But there is no QoS on 3G/LTE as the 3G/LTE line speed is various and can not be known exactly. EWAN Line Speed Upstream / Downstream: Specify the upstream and downstream rate of the EWAN interface. Click Apply to save the EWAN rate settings. Click Add to enter QoS rules. IP Version: Select either IPv4 or IPv6 base on need. Application: Assign a name that identifies the new QoS application rule. Select from the list box for quick setup. Direction: Shows the direction mode of the QoS application.  LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic from local network to the outside (Upstream). You can assign the priority for the application or you can limit the rate of the application. Eg: you have a FTP server inside the local network, and you want to have a limited control by the QoS policy and so you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting.  WAN to LAN: Control traffic from WAN to LAN (Downstream). Protocol: Select the supported protocol from the drop down list. DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the
170 DSCP value.

AF1, AF2, AF3 and AF4 are four levels of assured forwarding services. Each AF has three different packet loss priorities from high, medium, to low. Also, CS1-CS7 indicates the IP precedence. Rate Type: You can choose Limited or Prioritization.  Limited (Maximum): Specify a limited data rate for this policy. It also is the maximum rate for this policy. When you choose Limited, type the Ratio proportion. As above FTP server example, you may want to “throttle” the outgoing FTP speed to 20% of 256K and limit to it, you may use this type.  Prioritization: Specify the rate type control for the rule to used. If you choose Prioritization for the rule, you parameter Priority would be available, you can set the priority for this rule.  Set DSCP Marking: When select Set DSCP Marking, the packets matching the rule will be forwarded according to the pre-set DSCP marking. Ratio: The rate percent of each application/policy compared to total traffic on the interface with limited rate type. For example, we want to only allow 20% of the total data for the LAN-to-WAN direction to be used for FTP server. Then we can specify here with data ratio = 20. If you have ADSL LINE with 256K/bps.rate, the estimated data rate, in kbps, for this rule is 20%*256*0.9 = 46kbps. (For 0.9 is an estimated factor for the effective data transfer rate for an ADSL LINE from LAN to WAN. For WAN-to-LAN, it is 0.85 to 0.8) Priority: Set the priority given to each policy/application. Specify the priority for the use of bandwidth. You can specify which application can have higher priority to acquire the bandwidth. Its default setting is set to Normal. You may adjust this setting to fit your policy / application. Internal IP Address: The IP address values for Local LAN devices you want to give control. Internal Port: The Port number on the LAN side, it is used to identify an application.
171 External IP Address: The IP address on remote / WAN side. External Port: The Port number on the remote / WAN side. Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00-19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works. And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled or inactive and there will be an icon” ” indicating the rule is inactive. See Time Schedule.
172 Examples: Common usage 1. Give outgoing VoIP traffic more priority. The default queue priority is normal, so if you have VoIP users in your local network, you can set a higher priority to the outgoing VoIP traffic. 2. Give regular web http access a limited rate
173 3. If you are actively engaged in P2P and are afraid of slowing down internet access for other users within your network, you can then use QoS to set a rule that has low priority. In this way, P2P application will not congest the data transmission with other applications. Other applications, like FTP, Mail access, users can use QoS to control based on need.
174 QoS Port Shaping QoS port shaping supports traffic shaping of Ethernet interfaces. It forcefully maximizes the throughput of the Ethernet interface. When “Shaping Rate” is set to “-1”, no shaping will be in place and the “Burst Size” is to be ignored. Interface: P1-P4. P4 used as EWAN also covered. Type: All LAN when P4 is LAN port; P4 used as EWAN, type WAN and all others LAN. QoS Shaping Rate (Kbps): Set the forcefully maximum rate. Burst Size(Bytes): Set the forcefully Burst Size.
175 NAT NAT (Network Address Translation) feature translates a private IP to a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. It is a natural firewall for the private network. Exceptional Rule Group Exceptional Rule is dedicated to giving or blocking Virtual Server/ DMZ access to some specific IP or IPs(range). Users are allowed to set 8 different exceptional rule groups at most. In each group, user can add specific IP or IP range. Press Edit to set the exceptional IP (IP Range). Default Action: Please first set the range to make “Default Action” setting available. Set “Allow” to ban the listed IP or IPs to access the Virtual Server and DMZ Host Check “Block” to grant access to the listed IP or IPs to Virtual Server and DMZ Host. Apply: Press Apply button to apply the change.
176 Exceptional Rule Range IP Address Range: Specify the IP address range; IPv4 address range can be supported. Click Add to add the IP Range. For instance, if user wants to block IP range of 172.16.1.102-172.16.1.106 from accessing your set virtual server and DMZ host, you can add this IP range and valid it.
177 Virtual Servers In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server. The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT. The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. This part is only available when NAT is enabled. Note: The maximum number of entries: 64. It is virtual server listing table as you see, Click Add to move on.
178 The following configuration page will appear to let you configure. Interface: select from the drop-down menu the interface you want the virtual server(s) to apply. Server Name: select the server name from the drop-down menu. Custom Service: It is a kind of service to let users customize the service they want. Enter the user-defined service name here. It is a parameter only available when users select Custom Service in the above parameter. Server IP Address: Enter your server IP Address here. User can select from the list box for quick setup. External Port  Start: Enter a port number as the external starting number for the range you want to give access to internal network.  End: Enter a port number as the external ending number for the range you want to give access to internal network. Internal Port  Start: Enter a port number as the internal staring number.  End: Here it will generate automatically according to the End port number of External port and can’t be modified. Protocol: select the protocol this service used: TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP. Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the Virtual Server works. When set to “Always On”, the Virtual Server will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when Virtual Server works, like 01:00 - 19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in Time Schedule during which the Virtual Server works. And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled and there will be an icon in the list table indicating the rule is disabled. See Time Schedule. Exceptional Rule Group: Select the exceptional group listed. It is to grant or block Virtual Server
179 access to a group of IPs. For example, as we set previously group 1 blocking access to 172.16.1.102-172.16.1.106. If here you want to block Virtual Server access to this IP range, you can select Group1. Set up 1. Select a Server Name from the drop-down menu, then the port will automatically appear, modify some as you like, or you can just leave it as default. Remember to enter your server IP Address. 2. Press Apply to conform, and the items will be list in the Virtual Servers Setup table.
180 (Means the rule is inactive) Remove If you don’t need a specified Server, you can remove it. Check the check box beside the item you want to remove, then press Remove, it will be OK.
181 DMZ Host 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 Firewall and NAT algorithms before being passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries. (Group Information) DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP Address of a host you want it to be a DMZ host. Select from the list box to quick set the DMZ. Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the DMZ works. When set to “Always On”, the DMZ will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when DMZ works, like 01:00 - 19:00 from Monday to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in Time Schedule during which the DMZ works. And when set to “Disable”, the DMZ Host is disabled. See Time Schedule. Exceptional Rule Group: Select the exceptional group listed. It is to grant or block DMZ access to a group of IPs. For example, as we set previously group 1 blocking access to 172.16.1.102-172.16.1.106. If here you want to block DMZ Access to this IP range, you can select Group1. Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All” protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC. Attention If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.
182 One-to-One NAT One-to-One NAT maps a specific private/local address to a global/public IP address. If user has multiple global/public IP addresses from your ISP, you are free to use one-to-one NAT to assign some specific public IP for an internal IP like a public web server mapped with a global/public IP for outside access. Valid: Check whether to valid the one-to-one NAT mapping rule. WAN Interface: Select one based WAN interface to configure the one-to-one NAT. Global IP address: The Global IP mapped to an internal device. It can be left empty, and under this circumstance, it can be reached through the WAN IP of interface set in the field above. Internal Address: The IP address of an internal device in the LAN. Exceptional Rule Group: Select the exceptional group listed. It is to give or block access to a group of IPs to the server after One-to-One NAT. For example, a server with 192.168.1.3 is mapped to 123.1.1.2 by One-to-One NAT, then the exceptional group can be designated to have or have not access to 123.1.1.2. For example, you have an ADSL connection of pppoe_0_8_35/ppp0.1 interface with three fixed global IP, and you then can assign the other two global IPs to two internal devices respectively. If you have a WEB server (IP address: 192.168.1.3) and a FTP server (IP address: 192.168.1.4) in local network, owning a public IP address range of 123.1.1.2 to 123.1.1.4 assigned by ISP. 123.1.1.2 is used as WAN IP address of the router, 123.1.1.3 is used for WEB server and 123.1.1.4 is used for FTP server. With One-to-One NAT, the servers with private IP addresses can be accessed at the corresponding valid public IP addresses.
183 Port Triggering Port triggering is a way to automate port forwarding with outbound traffic on predetermined ports (‘triggering ports’), incoming ports are dynamically forwarded to the initiating host, while the outbound ports are in use. Port triggering triggers can open an incoming port when a client on the local network makes an outgoing connection on a predetermined port or a range of ports. Click Add to add a port triggering rule. Interface: Select from the drop-down menu the interface you want the port triggering rules apply to. Application: Preinstalled applications or Custom Application user can customize the utility yourself. Custom Application: It is a kind of service to let users themselves customizes the service they want. Enter the user-defined service name here. Trigger Port  Start: Enter a port number as the triggering port starting number.  End: Enter a port number as the triggering port ending number. Any port in the range delimited by the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ would be the trigger port.
184 Open port  Start: Enter a port number as the open port staring number.  End: Enter a port number as the open port ending number. Any port in the range delimited by the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ would be the preset forwarding port or open port. Protocol: select the protocol this service used: TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP. Set up An example of how port triggering works, when a client behind a NAT router connecting to Aim Talk, it is a TCP connection with the default port 4099. When connecting to Aim Talk, the client typically makes an outgoing connection on port 4099 to the Aim Talk server, but when the computer is behind the NAT, the NAT silently drops this connection because it does not know which computer behind the NAT to send the request to connect. So, in this case, port triggering in the router is working, when an outbound connection is attempted on port 4099 (or any port in the range set), it should allow inbound connections to that particular computer. 1. Select a Server Name from the drop-down menu, then the port will automatically appear, modify some as you like, or you can just leave it as default. Remember to enter your server IP Address. 2. Press Apply to conform, and the items will be list in the Virtual Servers Setup table.
185 Edit/Remove If you don’t need a specified Server, you can remove it. Check the check box beside the item you want to remove, and then press Remove. Click Edit to re-edit your port-triggering rule.
