Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a
pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work
with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work,
try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead.
1. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application.
2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the
specified port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.
This product provides some predefined settings.
1. Select your application and
2. Click Copy to to add the predefined setting to your list.
Note! At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

applies on all outbound packets. However, inbound filter applies on packets that destined to
Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:
1.
2.
Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules
Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define
the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Source IP address

3. Troubleshooting
This section provides an overview of common issues, and possible solutions for the installation
and operation of the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router.
1. Unable to access the Configuration Menu when I use my computer to configure the
router. Why?
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the
Ensure that the Ethernet LED on the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router is ON.
If the LED is NOT ON, check to see if the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted.
Note: Ensure that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the Wireless WAN
Mobile Broadband Router. The IP Address of the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router
is 192.168.123.254. All the computers on the network must have a unique IP Address within
the same range (e.g., 192.168.123.x). Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will
not be visible on the network. All computers must also have the same subnet mask (e.g.,
255.255.255.0).
Do a Ping test to make sure that the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router is responding.
Go to Start > Run.
1:Type cmd.
2:Press Enter.
