DSL-2730E User Manual 49 3.3.5 DMZ DMZ is the abbreviation of the Demilitarized Zone. Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the device supports the use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and it is visible to agents on the Internet with the correct type of software. Note that any client PC in the DMZ is exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through DMZ. Choose Advanced > DMZ. The page shown in the following figure appears. In the DMZ Host IP Address, input the LAN IP address of the LAN computer that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its address automatically using DHCP, then you may want to make a static reservation on the Setup-->Local Network-->DHCP Reserved page so that the IP address of the DMZ computer does not change. Click Apply to save the settings. 3.3.6 Parental Control You may create a list of websites that you would like the devices on your network to be denied access to.

In these cases, you can limit that exposure by specifying the IP addresses of Internet hosts that you trust to access your LAN through the ports that you have opened. Choose Advanced > Filtering Options > IP/Port Filter. The IP/Port Filtering page shown in the following figure appears.
DSL-2730E User Manual 53 Direction Upstream (Downstream) means packets outgoing (incoming) from (to) router. The Source IP addresses are LAN-side (WAN-side) addresses and the Destination IP addresses are WAN-side (LAN-side) addresses. Select the rule action, specify at least one of the following criteria: protocol, source/destination IP address, subnet mask and source/destination port. Click the Apply Changes to save a finished rule in the Rules List. The Current Filter Table shows detailed information about each created IP filter.

Reset Selected Click it to start configuring the parameters in this page. 3.3.10 Dynamic DNS The device supports dynamic domain name service (DDNS). The dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, and allows access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be
DSL-2730E User Manual 59 set up with one of the supported DDNS service providers (DyndDNS.org or dlinkddns.com). Choose Advanced > Dynamic DNS.

Username Enter the username provided by your service provider. Password Enter the password provided by your service provider. Note: In some cases DDNS service requires you to open the WAN http service. Refer to Access Control List-> Access Control List.
DSL-2730E User Manual 60 Click Add to save the settings to the Dynamic DDNS Table. 3.3.11 Network Tools The router provides following tools: Port Mapping, IGMP Proxy, IP QoS, UPnP, SNMP, TR-069, Software Forbidden, ARP Binding and Client Limit. 3.3.11.1 Port Mapping Port Mapping supports a single (LAN) port or multiple (LAN) ports to be formed as a group and mapped to a PVC (which is associated w/ a VLAN). As a result, each group of LAN ports will perform as an independent (logical) network (like a broadcast domain) among whom traffic broadcast would be prevented. This feature is useful while you would like to form multiple independent (logical) networks for multimedia applications at home. For instance, you can map PVC1 to port 1~3 to create a network (broadcast domain) for PCs for Internet, and map PVC2 to port 4 to create another network (broadcast domain) for IPTV service (devices). By using this feature (w/ multiple PVCs), data traffic and IPTV traffic would not affect each other. Choose Advanced > Network Tools > Port Mapping. The Port Mapping Configuration page shown in the following figure appears.
DSL-2730E User Manual 61 Follow the steps to manipulate a mapping group. Step 1 Select a group from the table.

IGMP proxy enables the system to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. The system acts as a proxy for its hosts when you enable it. Choose Advanced > Network Tools > IGMP Proxy. The IGMP Proxy Configuration page shown in the following figure appears. The following table describes the parameters and buttons of this page. Field Description Multicast allowed Enable multicast proxy, only for route mode. Robust Count Allows tuning for the expected packet loss on a link.

DSL-2730E User Manual 63 Field Description Query Interval The device sends query messages to check IGMP user periodically. The unit is second. Query Response Interval The device waits for the IGMP user’s reply. The unit is 100 * millisecond. Group Leave Delay The duration for the modem to cease forwarding multicast packets after a corresponding IGMP "Leave Group" message has been successfully offered to the modem. Click Apply Changes to save the settings. 3.3.11.3 IP QoS Quality of Service is a feature that allows you to allocate or guarantee the throughput or speed of Internet for certain computers. This is a very useful feature for sensitive applications such as VoIP whereby it will assist in preventing dropped calls. Large amounts of non-critical data can be scaled so that they do not affect sensitive real-time applications such as VoIP or Streaming. Choose Advanced > Network Tools > IP QoS.
