4 Advanced Configurations
Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall
Filtering function is used to block packets from LAN to WAN. The device
supports three kinds of filter Port Filtering, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. All
the entries in current filter table are used to restrict certain types of packets
from your local network to through the device. Use of such filters can be
helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
Port Filtering
When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port
or port ranges in current filter table. Once the source port of outgoing
packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the
firewall will block those packets from LAN to WAN.
IP Filtering
When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP
Addresses in current filter table. Once the source IP address of outgoing
packets match the IP Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this
packet from LAN to WAN.
52
MAC Filtering
When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC
Addresses in current filter table. Once the source MAC Address of outgoing
packets match the MAC Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this
packet from LAN to WAN.
Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual
ʳ
Server)
This function allows you to automatically redirect common network
services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are
only necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a web server or
mail server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall.
53
Multiple Servers behind NAT Example:
In this case, there are two PCs in the local network accessible for outside
users.
Configuring DMZ
A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing
unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains
devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web
(HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all
inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set. It also is useful while
you run some applications (ex. Internet game) that use uncertain incoming ports.
˯
54
Enable DMZ:
Enable the “Enable DMZ”, and then click “Apply
Changes” button to save the changes.
DMZ Host IP Address:
Input the IP Address of the computer that you want to
expose to
Internet.
Configuring WAN Interface
The device supports four kinds of IP configuration for WAN interface, including
Static IP, DHCP Client, PPPoE and PPTP. You can select one of the WAN Access
Types depend on your ISP required. The default WAN Access Type is “Static IP”.

buffer while the data is transmit or receive.
63
QoS (Quality of Service)
Filter Priority and IP-ToS have not finished yet and also fine tuning.
QoS allows you to specify some rules, to ensure the quality of service in
your network. Such as use Bandwidth Priority concept to allocate bandwidth.
This function can be helpful in shaping and queuing traffic from LAN (WLAN)
to WAN or LAN to
WLAN, but not WLAN to WLAN.
Enable the QoS and then fill in Bandwidth Ratio (H/M/L) the device has
three Bandwidth Priorities High, Medium and Low user can allocation
Bandwidth to these and default is High:50и, Medium:30и and Low:20и.
The following table describes the priorities that you can apply to bandwidth.
Priority Level Description
High
Typically used for voice or video
applications that is especially sensitive to
the variations in delay.
Medium
Typically used for voice or video
applications that is especially sensitive to
the variations in delay.
Low
Typically used for non-critical traffic such
as a large number of transfers but that
should not affect other application.
Click the QoS link under Management to open the QoS Setting page. This
page is divided into three parts: basic settings, QoS rule settings, and current
QoS setting table.
64
1. Enable QoS and enter Max Throughput (default 20Mbps) ଞ
Bandwidth Ratio (default H:50%, M:30%, L:20%)
The following table describes the labels in this part.
Label Description
QoS Enabled Select this check box to enable quality of
service.
Bandwidth Borrowed
Select this check box to allow a rule to
borrow unused bandwidth. Bandwidth
borrowing is decided by priority of the
rules. Higher priority will get the remaining
bandwidth first.
Max Throughput
Enter the value of max throughput in kbps
that you want to allocate for one rule. The
value should between 1200 kbps and
24000 kbps.
Bandwidth Ratio (H/M/L)
You can specify the ratio of priority in
these fields. The range from 1 to 99. The
High priority’s ratio should higher than
Medium priority’s ratio and Medium
priority’s ratio should higher than Low
priority’s ratio.

Firmware Upgrade
Firmware Types
The firmware for this device is divided into 2 parts, one is web pages
firmware the other is application firmware, and the naming usually are
g120webpage.bin and g120linux.bin. To upgrade firmware, we suggest user
first upgrade the application firmware then web pages firmware.
Upgrading Firmware
The Web-Browser upgrading interface is the simplest and safest way for
user, it will check the firmware checksum and signature, and the wrong
firmware won’t be accepted. After upgrading, the device will reboot and
please note that depends on the version of firmware, the upgrading may
cause the device configuration to be restored to the factory default setting,
and the original configuration data will be lost!
To upgrade firmware, just assign the file name with full path then click
“Upload” button as the following page. Memory Limitation
To make sure the device have enough memory to upload firmware, the
system will check the capacity of free memory, if the device lack of memory
to upload firmware, please temporarily turn-off some functions then reboot
the device to get enough memory for firmware uploading.
75
Configuration Data Backup & Restore
Rest Setting to Factory Default Value
Since the device is designed for outdoor used, there is no interface outside the
housing to reset the configuration value to the factory default value. The device
provides the Web-Browser interface to rest the configuration data. After resetting
it, the current configuration data will be lost and restored to factory default value.
Saving & Restoring Configuration Data
To save & restore configuration data of device, just assign the target filename
with full path at your local host, then you can backup configuration data to local
host or restore configuration data to the device.
