Total Space: Display the total space of the storage, with unit MB.
Used Space: Display the remaining space of each partition, unit MB.
Unmount: Click Unmount button if you want to uninstall the USB device. Please Note that first click
Unmount before you uninstall your USB storage.
138
User Account
Users here can add user accounts for access to the storage, in this way users can access the
network sharing storage with the specified account, and again protect their own data.
Users added here are entitled to have access to both Samba server and FTP server.
Default user admin.
Click Add button, enter the user account-adding page:
Username: user-defined name, but simpler and more convenient to remember would be favorable.
Password: Set the password.
Confirm Password: Reset the password for confirmation.
Volume Name: Select Volume name, as to create access to the volume of the specified partition of
the storage.
For example, a user test is setup behind the usb1_1.
The user “test” has the right to access both Samba and FTP server.
139
How to access Samba:
In your computer, Click Start > Run, enter \\192.168.1.254 (LAN IP)
140
When accessing the network storage, you can see a folder named “public”, users should have the
account to enter, and the account can be set at the User Accounts section.
When first logged on to the network folder, you will see the “public” folder.
Public: The public sharing space for each user in the USB Storage.
When user register a USB account and log successfully, a private folder (the same name as the user
account registered) exclusive for each user is established. Go on to see the details.
141
Access the folder public.
142
When successfully accessed, the private folder of each user is established, and user can see from
the following picture. The test fold in the picture is the private space for each user.
143
How to use FTP:
Please note to enable remote FTP access in Remote Access.
1. Access via FTP tools
Take popular FTP tool of FlashFXP for example:
1) Open FlashFXP
2) Create ftp sites (LAN IP / WAN IP, and set the account, port).
3) Connect to the ftp site.
144
2. Web FTP access
1) Enter ftp://admin@WAN-IP or ftp://admin@LAN-IP at the address bar of the IE. In terms of other
browsers, type ftp://WAN-IP or ftp:// LAN-IP directly.
2) Enter the account's username and password.
145
Print Server
The Print Server feature allows you to share a printer on your network by connecting a USB cable
from your printer to the USB port on the 7820NZ. This allows you to print from any location on your
network.

DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a non-profit collaborative trade organization
established by Sony in June 2003, which is responsible for defining interoperability guidelines to
enable sharing of digital media between consumer devices such as computers, printers, cameras,
cell phones and other multiple devices.
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).
151
Take Windows media player in Windows 7 accessing the DLNA server for example for usage of
DLNA .
152
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.
153
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.
154
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.
155
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
156
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)
157
(Rule inactive)
158
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.
159
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.
160
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.
161
Blocking WAN PING
This feature is enabled to let your router not respond to any ping command when someone others
“Ping” your WAN IP.
162
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.
L Drop: To drop the MAC entries always; in other words, the MACs are blocked access to router
and internet always.
L Forward: To forward the MAC entries always; in other words, the MACs are granted access to
the router and internet always.
L 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.
163
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.
164
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
IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
to set the exception IP address(es) for
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.

Parental Control Provider
Parental Control Provider provides Web content filtering offering safer and more reliable web surfing
for users. Please get an account and configure at the selected Provider “www.opendns.com” in
advance. To use parental control (DNS), user needs to configure to use parental control (DNS
provided by parental control provider) to access internet at WAN configuration or DNS page(See
DNS).
Host Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username
and password at the provider website www.opendns.com.
168
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.
L 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.
L 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
169
DSCP value.

DSCP offers three levels of service, Class Selector (CS), Assured Forwarding (AF) and Expedited
Forwarding (EF). 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.
L 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.
L 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.
170
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.
171
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
172
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.
173
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.
174
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.
175
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.
176
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.
177
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 userdefined 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
L Start: Enter a port number as the external starting number for the range you want to give
access to internal network.
L End: Enter a port number as the external ending number for the range you want to give
access to internal network.
Internal Port
L Start: Enter a port number as the internal staring number.
L 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
in the list table indicating the rule is disabled. See Time Schedule.
there will be an icon
Exceptional Rule Group: Select the exceptional group listed. It is to grant or block Virtual Server
178
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.
179
(
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.
180
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 172.16.1.102172.16.1.106. 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.
181
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.
182
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
L Start: Enter a port number as the triggering port starting number.
L 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.
183
Open port
L Start: Enter a port number as the open port staring number.
L 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.
184
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.
185
ALG
The ALG Controls enable or disable protocols over application layer.
SIP: Enable the SIP ALG when SIP phone needs ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable the SIP
when SIP phone includes NAT-Traversal algorithm.
H.323: Enable to secure the voice communication using H.323 protocol when one or both terminals
are behind a NAT.
IPSec: Enable IPSec ALG to allow one or both peers to reside behind a NAT gateway (i.e., doing
address- or port-translation).
186
Wake On LAN

188
VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that interconnects remote (and often
geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as
the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunneling protocols and security procedures such as
encryption. For example, a VPN could be used to securely connect the branch offices of an
organization to a head office network through the public Internet.
IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP)
communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec
also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the
session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session.
IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
It can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or
between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host).
Note: A maximum of 16 sessions for IPSec.
NAT Traversal
NAT Traversal: This directive enables use of the NAT-Traversal IPsec extension (NAT-T). NAT-T
allows one or both peers to reside behind a NAT gateway (i.e., doing address- or port-translation).
Keep Alive: Type the interval time(sec) for sending packets to keep the NAT Traversal alive.
Click Apply to save and apply your settings.

190
Key Exchange Method: Displays key exchange method.
Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 1 to 32
characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy
and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can
be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually
entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).
Local ID Type and Remote ID Type: When the mode of phase 1 is aggressive, Local and Remote
peers can be identified by other IDs.
ID content: Enter ID content the name you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type are
Domain Name; Enter ID content IP address you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type
are IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6 supported).
Phase 1
Mode: Select IKE mode from the drop-down menu: Main or Aggressive. This IKE provides
secured key generation and key management.
Encryption Algorithm: Select the encryption algorithm from the drop-down menu. There are
several options: 3DES and AES (128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but
increase latency.
DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method.
3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption
method.
AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as
encryption method.
Integrity Algorithm: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not
tampered with in transmit. There are 2 options: Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash
Algorithm (SHA1). SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5. However, it is slower.
MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash.
SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash.
DH Group: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared
secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). MODP stands for Modular
Exponentiation Groups.
SA Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that a Security Association (SA) will stay active before
new encryption and authentication key will be exchanged. Enter a value to issue an initial
connection request for a new VPN tunnel. Default is 480 minutes (28800 seconds). A short SA time
increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time when the VPN
tunnel re-negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected.
Phase 2
Encryption Algorithm: Select the encryption algorithm from the drop-down menu. There are
several options: 3DES and AES (128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but

191
IPSec Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that IPSec will stay active before new encryption
and authentication key will be exchanged. Enter a value to negotiate and establish secure
authentication. Default is 60 minutes (3600 seconds). A short time increases security by forcing the
two parties to update the keys. However, every time when the VPN tunnel re- negotiates, access
through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected.
Ping for Keep Alive: Select the operation methods:
L None: The default setting is “None”. To this mode, it will not detect the remote IPSec peer
has been lost or not. It only follows the policy of Disconnection time after no traffic, which the
remote IPSec will be disconnected after the time you set in this function.
L DPD: Dead peer detection (DPD) is a keeping alive mechanism that enables the router to be
detected lively when the connection between the router and a remote IPSec peer has lost.
Please be noted, it must be enabled on the both sites.
Detection Interval: The period cycle for dead peer detection. The interval can be 180~86400
seconds.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the IPSec connection after trying several consecutive times.
L Ping: This mode will detect whether the remote IPSec peer has lost or not by pinging specify IP
address.
Ping IP: Type the IP for ping operation. It is able to IP Ping the remote PC with the specified IP
address and alert when the connection fails. Once alter message is received, Router will drop this
tunnel connection. Reestablish of this connection is required. Default setting is 0.0.0.0 which
disables the function.
Interval: This sets the time interval between Pings to the IP function to monitor the connection
status. Default interval setting is 10 seconds. Time interval can be set from 0 to 3600 second, 0
second disables the function.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit, maximum value is 1500.

PPTP
The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a Layer2 tunneling protocol for implementing
virtual private networks through IP network. PPTP uses an enhanced GRE (Generic Routing
Encapsulation) mechanism to provide a flow- and congestion-controlled encapsulated datagram
service for carrying PPP packets.
In the Microsoft implementation, the tunneled PPP traffic can be authenticated with PAP, CHAP,
Microsoft CHAP V1/V2 or EAP-TLS. The PPP payload is encrypted using Microsoft Point-to-Point
Encryption (MPPE) when using MSCHAPv1/v2 or EAP-TLS.
Note: 4 sessions for Client and 4 sessions for Server respectively.
PPTP Server
In PPTP session, users can set the basaic parameters(authentication, encyption, peer address, etc)
for PPTP Server, and accounts in the next page of PPTP Account. They both constitutes the PPTP
Server setting.
PPTP Funtion: Select Enable to activate PPTP Server. Disable to deactivate PPTP Server function.
WAN Interface: Select the exact WAN interface configured for the tunnel. Select Default to use the
now-working WAN interface for the tunnel.
Auth. Type: The authentication type, Pap or Chap, PaP, Chap and MS-CHAPv2. When using PAP,
the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also
allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client. When
passed the authentication with MS-CHAPv2, the MPPE encryption is supported.
Encryption Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits.
Default is Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger
encryption than 40 bit keys.
Peer Encryption Mode: You may select “Only Stateless” or “Allow Stateless and Stateful” mode.
The key will be changed every packet when you select Stateless mode.

OpenVPN
OpenVPN is an open source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN)
techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged
configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS
for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translation (NAT) and firewalls.
OpenVPN allows peers to authenticate each other using a pre-shared secret key, certificates, or
username/password. When used in a multiclient-server configuration, it allows the server to release
an authentication certificate for every client, using signature and Certificate authority. It uses the
OpenSSL encryption library extensively, as well as the SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol, and contains many
security and control features.
OpenVPN is good at portability. OpenVPN has been ported and embedded to several systems.

248
Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may
use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from
time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you
by your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es).
Click Add to register a WAN interface with the exact DNS.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Host Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username
and password for this service.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS
server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update
when your dynamic IP address changes.
Selected WAN Interface: Select the Interface that is bound to the registered Domain name.
249
User can register different DDNS to different interfaces.
Examples: Note first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register
an account.

correctly resolve Domain name to access the internet.
DNS Proxy: Select whether to enable or disable DNS Proxy function, default is enabled.
Host name of the Broadband Router: Enter the host name of the router. Default is home.gateway.
Domain name of the LAN network: Enter the domain name of the LAN network. home.gateway.
252
Static DNS
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS; in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static
without change.
You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a domain
name for convenient access. Or you can set some well-known Internet IP mapping item so your
router will response quickly for your DNS query instead of querying from the ISP’s DNS server.
Host Name: Type the domain name (host name) for the specific IP .
IP Address: Type the IP address bound to the set host name above.
Click Add to save your settings.
253
Static ARP

through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding
much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to
control advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the
router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and
Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to
support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.

Multicast
Multicast is one of the three network transmission modes, Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast. It is a
transmission mode that supports point-to-multipoint connections between the sender and the
recipient. IGMP protocol is used to establish and maintain the relationship between IP host and the
host directly connected multicast router.
IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol, it is a communications protocols used to
manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and the
adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group members. There are three versions for IGMP,
that is IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3.
MLD, short for Multicast Listener Discovery protocol, is a component if the Internet Protocol
version 6(IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 to discover multicast listeners on a directly attached link,
much as IGMP used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate
protocol. MLDv1 is similar to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is similar to IGMPv3.
IGMP
Multicast Precedence: It is for multicast QoS. With lower multicast precedence, IGMP packets will
be put into higher-priority queue. Default is set to disable.
Default Version: Enter the supported IGMP version, 1-3, default is IGMP v3.
Query Interval: Enter the periodic query interval time (sec) the multicast router sending the query
message to hosts to understand the group membership information.
265
Query Response Interval: Enter the response interval time (sec).
Last Member Query Interval: Enter the interval time (sec) the multicast router query the specified
group after it has received leave message.
Robustness Value: Enter the router robustness parameter, 2-7, the greater the robustness value,
the more robust the Querier is.
Maximum Multicast Groups: Enter the Maximum Multicast Groups.
Maximum Multicast Data Sources( for IGMP v3): Enter the Maximum Multicast Data Sources,124.
Maximum Multicast Group Members: Enter the Maximum Multicast Group Members.
Fast leave: Check to determine whether to support fast leave. If this value is enabled, IGMP proxy
removes the membership of a group member immediately without sending an IGMP membership
query on downstream. This is very helpful if user wants fast channel (group change) changing in
cases like IPTV environment.
LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)
Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get IGMP
snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled.
Membership Join Immediate (IPTV): When a host joins a multicast session, it sends unsolicited
join report to its upstream router immediately. The Startup Query Interval has been set to 1/4 of the
General Query value to enable the faster join at startup.
MLD
Default Version: Enter the supported MLD version, 1-2, default is MLDv2.
Query Interval: Enter the periodic query interval time (sec) the multicast router sending the query
message to hosts to understand the group membership information.
Query Response Interval: Enter the response interval time (sec).
Last Member Query Interval: Enter the interval time (sec) the multicast router query the specified
group after it has received leave message.
Robustness Value: Enter the router robustness parameter, default is 2, the greater the robustness
value, the more robust the Querier is.
Maximum Multicast Groups: Enter the Maximum Multicast Groups.
Maximum Multicast Data Sources( for MLDv2): Enter the Maximum Multicast Data Sources,1-24.
Maximum Multicast Group Members: Enter the Maximum Multicast Group Members.
Fast leave: Check to determine whether to support fast leave. If this value is enabled, MLD proxy
removes the membership of a group member immediately without sending an MLD membership
query on downstream. This is very helpful if user wants fast channel (group change) changing in
cases like IPTV environment.
LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)
Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get MLD
snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled.

Management
SNMP Agent
SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is the most popular one in network. It consists of
SNMP Manager，SNMP Agent and MIB. Every network device supporting SNMP will have a SNMP
Agent which is a management software running in the device.
SNMP Manager, the management software running on the server, it uses SNMP protocol to send
GetRequest GetNextRequest, SetRequest message to Agent to view and change the information
of the device.
SNMP Agents, the management software running in the device, accepts the message from the
manager, Reads or Writes the management variable in MIB accordingly and then generates
Response message to send it to the manager. Also, agent will send Trap message to the manager
when agent finds some exceptions.
Trap message, is the message automatically sent by the managed device without request to the
manager about the emergency events.
SNMP Agent: enable or disable SNMP Agent.
Read Community: Type the Get Community, which is the authentication for the incoming Get-and
GetNext requests from the management station.
Set Community: Type the Set Community, which is the authentication for incoming Set requests
from the management station.
System Name: here it refers to your router.
System Location: user-defined location.
System Contact: user-defined contact message.
Trap manager IP: enter the IP address of the server receiving the trap sent by SNMP agent.
267
TR- 069 Client
TR-069 (short for Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband
Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an
application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer
premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe
configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In
the course of the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities
grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the
configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this
reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types.
Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and
establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically.
Inform: select enable to let CPE be authorized to send Inform message to automatically connect to
ACS.
Inform Interval: Specify the inform interval time (sec) which CPE used to periodically send inform
message to automatically connect to ACS. When the inform interval time arrives, the CPE will send
inform message to automatically connect to ACS.
ACS URL: Enter the ACS server login name.
ACS User Name: Specify the ACS User Name for ACS authentication to the connection from CPE.
ACS password: Enter the ACS server login password.
WAN interface used by TR-069: select the interface used by TR-069.
Display SOAP message on serial console: select whether to display SOAP message on serial
console.
Connection Request Authentication: Check to enable connection request authentication feature.
Connection Request User Name: Enter the username for ACS server to make connection request.
Connection Request User Password: Enter the password for ACS server to make connection
request.
Connection Request URL: Automatically match the URL for ACS server to make connection
request.
268

270
Remote Access
It is to allow remote access to the router to view or configure.
Remote Access: Select “Enable” to allow management access from remote side (mostly from
internet). If disabled, no remote access is allowed for any IPs even if you set allowed access IP
address. So, please note that enabling remote access is an essential step before granting remote
access to IPs.
Enable Service: Select to determine which service(s) is (are) allowed for remote access when
remote access is enabled. By default (on condition that remote access is enabled), the web service
(HTTP) is allowed for remote access.
Click Apply button to submit your settings.
"Allowed Access IP Address Range" was used to restrict which IP address could login to access
system web GUI.
Valid: Enable/Disable Allowed Access IP Address Range
IP Address Range: Specify the IP address Range, IPv4 and IPv6 address range can be supported,
users can set IPv4 and IPv6 address range individually.
Click Add to add an IP Range to allow remote access.
Note: 1. If user wants to grant remote access to IPs, first enable Remote Access.
2. Remote Access enabled:
1) Enable Valid for the specific IP(s) in the IP range to allow the specific IP(s) to remote access the
router.
2) Disable Valid for all specific IP(s) in the IP range to allow any IP(s) to remote access the router.
3) No listing of IP range is to allow any IP(s) to remote access the router.

Power Management
Power management is a feature of some electrical appliances, especially computers that turn off the
power or switch to a low-power state when inactive.
Five main parameters are listed for users to check to manage the performance of the router.
274
Time Schedule
The Time Schedule supports up to 32 timeslots which helps you to manage your Internet connection.
In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or
allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications.
This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time
clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an
SNTP server from the Internet. Refer to Internet Times for details.
For example, user can add a timeslot named “timeslot1” features a period of 9:00-19:00 every
weekday.
275

Fault Management
IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is a standard defined by IEEE. It defines
protocols and practices for OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) for paths through
802.1 bridges and local area networks (LANs). Fault Management is to uniquely test the VDSL PTM
connection; Push service
Maintenance Domain (MD) Level: Maintenance Domains (MDs) are management spaces on a
network, typically owned and operated by a single entity. MDs are configured with Names and
Levels, where the eight levels range from 0 to 7. A hierarchal relationship exists between domains
based on levels. The larger the domain, the higher the level value.
Maintenance End Point: Points at the edge of the domain, define the boundary for the domain. A
MEP sends and receives CFM frames through the relay function, drops all CFM frames of its level or
lower that come from the wire side.
Link Trace: Link Trace messages otherwise known as Mac Trace Route are Multicast frames that a
MEP transmits to track the path (hop-by-hop) to a destination MEP which is similar in concept to
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Trace Route. Each receiving MEP sends a Trace route Reply directly
to the Originating MEP, and regenerates the Trace Route Message.
Loop-back: Loop-back messages otherwise known as MaC ping are Unicast frames that a MEP
transmits, they are similar in concept to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo (Ping)
messages, sending Loopback to successive MIPs can determine the location of a fault. Sending a
high volume of Loopback Messages can test bandwidth, reliability, or jitter of a service, which is
similar to flood ping. A MEP can send a Loopback to any MEP or MIP in the service. Unlike CCMs,
Loop back messages are administratively initiated and stopped.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
If your router is not functioning properly, please refer to the suggested solutions provided in this
chapter. If your problems persist or the suggested solutions do not meet your needs, please kindly
contact your service provider or Billion for support.
Problems with the router
Problem
Suggested Action
Check the connection between the router and the
adapter. If the problem persists, most likely it is due
to the malfunction of your hardware. Please contact
your service provider or Billion for technical support.
You have forgotten your login username Try the default username "admin" and password
or password
"admin". If this fails, you can restore your router to
its factory settings by pressing the reset button on
the device rear side.
None of the LEDs is on when you turn
on the router
Problems with WAN interface
Problem
Frequent loss of ADSL line sync
(disconnections)
Suggested Action
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same
telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax
machines, analogue modems) have a line filter
connected between them and the wall socket (unless
you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter
installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and
ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the
right way around. Missing line filters or line filters
installed the wrong way around can cause problems
with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent
disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm
system you should contact your security provider for a
technician to make any necessary changes.
284
Problem with LAN interface
Problem
Cannot PING any PC on LAN
Suggested Action
Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel.
The LED should be on for the port that has a PC
connected. If it does not lit, check to see if the cable
between your router and the PC is properly
connected. Make sure you have first uninstalled your
firewall program before troubleshooting.
Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are
consistent for both the router and the workstations.
