8. Instruction of Using Special Application
When special application program users at the LAN end want to use a certain network application
program, such application program needs more set up than the regular connection, and most of these
application programs are games or audio/video multimedia. Take AOK (Age of Kings) for
example:
- Application: AOK
- Trigger Port: 47624
- Other Ports: 2300 2400,28800 29000
- Enable: enable
1. Application: Key in the desired software name, such as AOK (Age of Kings); it only needs an
input for this field, and its value will not affect the operation of the BR402W.
2. Trigger Port: A port number.
3. Other Ports: The port interval of each section that needs to open is separated by a “space” (e.g.
2300 2400), and each interval is separated by a “comma” (2300 2400, 28800 29000).
4. Enable: Select “enable” to open such setting.
Several common application program set-ups are provided at the bottom of the screen. The user can
complete the settings by clicking the mouse.
48
8-1 Instruction of Using DMZ
If we do not know how to set up certain game or software or the field for set up cannot satisfy the
need, then the virtual IP Address (such as 192.168.1.1) obtained the PC at the LAN terminal can be
used to input to the field of DMZ. Taking NetMeeting for example, if you just want to call an
external computer from the computer at the LAN terminal, it does not need any set up. However, if
you want to let the external PC to call the computer at the LAN terminal, then the virtual IP Address
must be filled in the field of DMZ.)
49
8-2 Instruction of Using Netmeeting
1. If we need to actively call the PC of the external network from the PC at the LAN terminal, it
does not need special set up.
2. To let a PC at the WAN end call a PC at the LAN end, set the virtual IP Address (such as
192.168.1.1) of the PC at the LAN end to the DMZ field in the Special Application as shown in
the following figure. The PC at the WAN end can call the external IP Address (provide by the
ISP) of the BR402W, and the internally connects to such PC.
50
9. Instruction of Using the Virtual Server
Virtual server provides a way to let the PC at the WAN end connect to a server of a PC at the LAN
end.
Taking the IP Address 192.168.1.1 of a PC on a FTP (port:21) at the LAN end for example:
Port: 21
Virtual Server IP: 192.168.1.1
Enable: enable
The PC at the WAN end can connect to the internal FTP server at the IP address 192.168.1.1 via the
WAN end of the IP Address of the FTP BR402W.
At the bottom of the screen, we provide several common server port numbers for the setting, and the
user can click one of them, and then fill in the virtual IP address set for the server to complete the set
up.
51
10. VLAN
VLAN is using for 4 LAN ports that can be divided into maximum four different virtual LANs.
Although each different virtual LAN user’s IP is in the same subnet, however the communication
between each other will be limited. This function is for dividing the user in the same subnet, usually
provided for high-end switch.
52
11. Static Routing Table
Under some of Internet environments, some of the subnet do not go through the default gateway.
Users can add those routing information to Static Routing Table by themselves.
You can enter new routing information and click “Add new to Static routing” then there will add the
new routing information to Static Routing Table. Otherwise, you can mark the checkbox of the
routing table that you want to delete and click “Delete selection(s) from static routing” then there
will delete the marked routing information from Static routing table. Press “Finish”.
53
12. Troubleshooting
Q: What to do if you forget your password or forget the IP address of the GN-BR402W?
Please press the “Reset” bottom on the GN-BR402W about 4 sec. The GN-BR402W will be
restart and the system setting will restore to default value.
Q: Unable to connect to Internet?
n Please confirm whether or not the power cord is properly connected, and the power
indicating light of the GN-BR402W is normal.
