4.5 Forwarding Rules
4.5.1 Virtual Server
25
This products 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. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give
user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at
192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual
server mapping table:
Service Port Server IP Enable
21 192.168.123.1 V
80 192.168.123.2 V
1723 192.168.123.6 V
26
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. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the specified
port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.
This product provides some predefined settings Select your application and click Copy to to add the
predefined setting to your list.
Note! At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.
27
4.5.3 Miscellaneous Items
IP Address of DMZ Host
DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of 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.
Non-standard FTP port
You have to configure this item if you want to access an FTP server whose port number is not 21. This
setting will be lost after rebooting.
28
4.6 Security Settings
29
4.6.1 Packet Filter
Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies
on all outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or
DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:
1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules
2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the
following:
Source IP address
Source port address
Destination IP address
Destination port address
Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
Use Rule#
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP
30
addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.
For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add
prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix
indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. Packet Filter can work
with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to
Scheduling Rule.
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
Inbound Filter:
To enable Inbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter
field.
Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server (80), FTP Server (21), and News
Server (119) defined in Virtual Server or DMZ Host.
Example 1:
(1.2.3.100-1.2.3.149) They are allow to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse the
Internet (port 80)
31
(1.2.3.10-1.2.3.20) They can do everything (block nothing)
Others are all blocked.
Example 2:

4. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.20 can access network without restriction.
36
4.6.3 URL Blocking
URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites.
The major difference between Domain filter and URL Blocking is Domain filter require user to
input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other
words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites
by simply a keyword.
URL Blocking Enable
Checked 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.
For example, you can use pre-defined word "sex" to block all websites if their URLs contain
pre-defined word "sex".
Enable
Checked to enable each rule.
37
In this example:
1. URL include msn will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file.
2. URL include sina will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file
3. URL include cnnsi will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file.
4. URL include espn will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file

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. If a client is denied to connect
to this device, it means the client can't access to the Internet either.
Choose "allow" or "deny" to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC
addresses are not in the "Control table" (please see below), to connect to
this device.
Association control Check "Association control" to enable the
controlling of which wireless client can
associate to the wireless LAN. If a client is
denied to associate to the wireless LAN, it
means the client can't send or receive any data
via this device. Choose "allow" or "deny" to
allow or deny the clients, whose MAC
addresses are not in the "Control table", to
39
associate to the wireless LAN.
Control table
"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 MAC address indicates a specific client.
IP Address 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.
A When "Association control" is checked,
check "A" will allow the corresponding client
to associate to the wireless LAN.
In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you to input the MAC address.
You can select a specific client in the DHCP clients Combobox, and then click on the Copy to
button to copy the MAC address of the client you select to the ID selected in the ID Combobox.
Previous page and Next Page To make this setup page simple and clear, we have divided the
Control table into several pages. You can use these buttons to
navigate to different pages.

4.7.3 Dynamic DNS
To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use 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 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.
To enable Dynamic DNS click the check box next to Enable in the DDNS field.
Next you can enter the appropriate information about your Dynamic DNS Server.
You have to define:
Provider
Host Name
Username/E-mail
45
Password/Key
You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server.
Example:
After Dynamic DNS setting is configured, click the save button.
46
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 SNMP function. If Local is checked, this
device will response request from LAN. If Remote is checked, this device will response request from
WAN.
Get Community
Setting the community of GetRequest your device will response.
Set Community
Setting the community of SetRequest your device will accept.
47
4.7.5 Routing Table
Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data
grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow
packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.
Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static.
Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You can enter the destination
IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and hop for each routing rule, and then enable or disable the rule by
checking or unchecking the Enable checkbox.
48
Example:
Configuration on NAT Router
Destination SubnetMask Gateway Hop Enabled
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
So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data gram 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 will go via 192.168.123.216
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
After routing table setting is configured, click the save button.
49
4.7.6 Schedule Rule
You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. Select the enable
item.
Press Add New Rule
50
You can write a rule name and set which day and what time to schedule from Start Time to End
Time. The following example configure ftp time as everyday 14:10 to 16:20
51
After configure Rule 1à
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.
Schedule Rule can be applied to Virtual server and Packet Filter, for example:
52
Exanple1: Virtual Server Apply Rule#1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20)
Exanple2: Packet Filter Apply Rule#1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20).
