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.
84
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.

Slave Interface: Select a slave WAN interface as backup port.
Ping: To ping to check the slave WAN inteface’s connectivity.
 Gateway: It will send ping packets to gateway of slave interface and wait for response from it
in every “Probe Cycle” to check the connectivity of the gateway of slave interface.
 Host: It will send ping packets to specific host and wait for response in every “Probe Cycle”.
Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch to
the backup connection once the main connection (main port) fails. For example, when set to 30
seconds, the probe will be conducted every 30 seconds.
Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failure to switch to backup port.
Note:
1) The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined
by Probe Cycle multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be
30 seconds multiplied by 3 consecutive fails, the router will determine failover to slave interface.
2).The failback setting follow the same decision policy as the failover. For example, according to
settings above in the screenshot, the connection probe will be carried out every 30 seconds, and 3
consecutive times of probe success is found, the router will determine failback to master interface.

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, 8920AX(L) can serve as a DLNA server.

135
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.
136
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.
137
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.

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.
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, RAW, Any) 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 –
139
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 blocked. Or exactly in the rule below, all traffic trying to access
FTP will be blocked.
(The rule is active; disable field shows the status of the rule, active or inactive)

Blocking WAN PING
This feature is enabled to let your router not respond to any ping command when someone others
“Ping” your WAN IP.
145
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. Please click
Add button to add the device(s) to be subject to Time Restriction rules (forward or drop connection to
internet). Devices Not added will not comply with the rules and access internet and router willingly.
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.

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.

QoS - Quality of Service
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: VDSL/ADSL line speed is based on the VDSL/ADSL sync rate.
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 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.
 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.
153
Internal Port: The Port number on the LAN side, it is used to identify an application.
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.
154
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
155
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.
156
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-P5. P5 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.
157
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 NAT/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. Select “Allow”
to grant access to the listed IP or IPs to Virtual Server and DMZ Host.
While choose “Block” to ban the listed IP or IPs to access the Virtual Server and DMZ Host.
Apply: Press Apply button to apply the change.
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 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.
158
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.
159
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.
WAN IP: To specify the exact WAN IP address. It can be flexible while there are multiple WAN IPs
on one interface. If the WAN IP field is empty, 8920AX(L) uses the current WAN IP of this interface.
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
 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
access to a group of IPs. For example, as we set previously group 1 blocking access to
160
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.
161
(
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.
162
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.
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 rule 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.
163
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
164
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.
165
Open port

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.
