Virtual Server
The DGL-4500 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public
IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DGL-4500 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DGL-4500 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible
from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DGL-4500 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DGL-4500 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a
different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to
use that particular virtual service.

Section 3 - Configuration
If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either
“Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but
gives much better results.

Enable WISH: Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize
your traffic.
HTTP: Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many
common audio and video streams and prioritize them above
other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital
media players.
Windows Media Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video
Center: streams generated by a Windows® Media Center PC and to
prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams are used
by systems known as Windows® Media Extenders, such as
the Xbox 360.
Automatic: When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically
attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn’t otherwise
recognize, based on the behavior that the streams exhibit.
This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving
interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a
normal priority.
WISH Rules: A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns
a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are
not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the highest
priority will be used.

Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”

as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering
the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the
highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
Enable: Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
