13.6 Remote Admin
If you select Firewall Settings in the top navigation menu, and then select Remote Administration in the left
submenu, the following screen appears.
It is possible to access and control your Router not only from within the home network, but also from the Internet.
This allows you to view or change settings while traveling. It also enables you to allow your service provider to
change settings or help you troubleshoot functionality or communication issues from a remote location. Remote
access to your Router is blocked by default to ensure the security of your network. However, your Router supports
the following services, and you can use the Remote Administration screen to selectively enable these services if they
are needed.
WARNING: With Remote Administration enabled, your network will be at risk from outside attacks. Note that
remote command line access (Telnet) is not enabled on this Router.
To configure Remote Administration, enter the appropriate settings, and then click Apply to save the settings.

13.7 Static NAT
If you select Firewall Settings in the top navigation menu and then select Static NAT in the left submenu, the
following screen appears.
NOTE: A block of static IP addresses must be purchased from Verizon to configure this feature. This Router
supports 253 static IP addresses.
Static NAT allows LAN devices to use public IP addresses (different from the Router’s public IP address). The LAN
devices are still configured with private IP addresses (either statically or dynamically through DHCP). Traffic
between the LAN devices and the Internet is still “NAT’ed,” but the Static NAT mappings allow packets from
specific devices to use a distinct public IP address; and packets sent to different public IP addresses to be forwarded
to specific devices.
With Static NAT, devices that are behind the firewall and that are configured with private IP addresses appear to
have public IP addresses on the Internet. This allows an internal host, such as a Web server, to have an unregistered
(private) IP address and still be reachable over the Internet. This section also allows you to perform port translations
(NAPT).
There are three steps to setting up a Static NAT entry:
1. Create an address pool – These are addresses on your WAN network side.
2. Create a NAT rule – This defines the local computer to be NAT’d, the external IP address from the pool
and the services that are allowed.
3. Create a Port Forwarding Rule – This matches the NAT rule you created above and forwards the packets
received on the WAN side to reach your internal computer.
To configure Static NAT, click the New Entry link.

15.7 Quality of Service
The QoS feature allows you to configure Quality of Service parameters in your Router. Network-based applications
and traffic are growing at a high rate, producing an ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and network capacity.
Bandwidth and capacity cannot be expanded infinitely, requiring that bandwidth-demanding services be delivered over
existing infrastructure, without incurring additional expensive investments. The next logical means of ensuring optimal
use of existing resources are Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms for congestion management and avoidance. Quality
of Service refers to the capability of a network device to provide better service to selected network traffic. This is
achieved by shaping the traffic and processing higher priority traffic before lower priority traffic.
15.7.1 General
If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen, the following screen appears. This screen allows
you to configure general QoS settings. Enter the appropriate settings, and then click Apply.
NOTE: Choosing a new QoS profile will cause all previous QoS settings to be lost.
Before selecting the QoS profile that mostly suits your needs, select your bandwidth from this combo-box. If you do
not see an appropriate entry, select 'User Defined', and enter your Tx and Rx bandwidths manually.
• Enter your Tx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
• Enter your Rx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
Select the profile that mostly suits your bandwidth usage. Each profile entry displays a quote describing what the
profile is best used for, and the QoS priority levels granted to each bandwidth consumer in this profile.
• Default - No QoS preferences
• P2P User - Peer-to-peer and file sharing applications will receive priority
• Triple Play User - VoIP and video streaming will receive priority
• Home Worker - VPN and browsing will receive priority
• Gamer - Game-related traffic will receive priority
• Priority By Host - This entry provides the option to configure which computer in your LAN will receive the
highest priority and which the lowest. If you have additional computers, they will receive medium priority.
High Priority Host: Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which you would like to grant the
highest bandwidth priority.
Low Priority Host: Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which you would like to grant the
lowest bandwidth priority.

15.7.2 Traffic Priority
If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen and then click Traffic Priority in the left submenu,
the following screen appears. This screen allows you to configure QoS to prioritize input and output traffic.
Traffic Priority manages and avoids traffic congestion by defining inbound and outbound priority rules for each
device on the Router. These rules determine the priority that packets, traveling through the device, will receive. QoS
parameters (DSCP marking and packet priority) are set per packet, on an application basis.
QoS can be configured using flexible rules, according to the following parameters:
• Source/destination IP address, MAC address, or host name
• Device
• Source/destination ports
• Limit the rule for specific days and hours
The Router supports two priority marking methods for packet prioritization:
• DSCP
• 802.1p Priority
The matching of packets by rules, also known as Stateful Packet Inspection is connection-based and uses the
Router’s firewall mechanism. Once a packet matches a rule, all subsequent packets with the same attributes receive
the same QoS parameters, both inbound and outbound.
A packet can match more than one rule. Therefore:
• The first class rule has precedence over all other class rules (scanning is stopped once the first rule is reached).
• The first traffic-priority (classless) rule has precedence over all other traffic-priority rules.
• There is no prevention of a traffic-priority rule conflicting with a class rule. In this case, the priority and DSCP
setting of the class rule (if given) will take precedence.
To set up a traffic priority rule, click the adjacent New Entry link for the input/output device you want to configure.

1. Select the desired Source Address, Destination Address, and Protocol options from the drop-down lists.
2. Click the Device check box if you will apply the settings to a device. By default this box is cleared.
3. Select the desired option from the Set Priority drop-down list. (Zero is the lowest priority level.)
4. Click OK to save the settings.
Source Address—The source address of packets sent or received from the LAN computer. The drop-down list
displays all the host names or IP addresses of currently connected LAN computers, as well as the options 'Any' and
'User Defined'. Select an address from the list, or select Any to apply the rule on all computers. If you would like
add a new address, select the User Defined option in the drop-down list. This will commence a sequence that will
add a new network object, representing the LAN computer. The network object may be an IP address, subnet or
range, a MAC address or a host name.
Destination Address—The destination address of packets sent or received from the network object. This address can
be configured in the same manner as the source address. This entry enables further filtration of the packets.
Protocols—You may also specify a traffic protocol. Selecting the Show All Services option in the drop-down list
will expand the list of available protocols. Select a protocol or add a new one using the User Defined option. This
will commence a sequence that will add a new service, representing the protocol.
Operation—Set rule priority with Quality of Service:
Set Priority—Check this check-box to add a priority to the rule then select between one of eight priority
levels, zero being the lowest and seven the highest (each priority level is mapped to low/medium/high
priority). This sets the priority of a packet on the connection matching the rule, while routing the packet.
The order of the rules' appearance represents both the order in which they were defined and the sequence
by which they will be applied. You may change this order after your rules are already defined (without having
to delete and then re-add them), by using the Move Up and Move Down action icons as shown in the following
image.

15.7.3 Traffic Shaping
If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen and then click Traffic Shaping in the left submenu,
the following screen appears.
Traffic Shaping is the solution for managing and avoiding congestion where the network meets limited broadband
bandwidth. Typical networks use a 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN with a 100 Mbps WAN interface router. This is where
most bottlenecks occur. A traffic shaper is essentially a regulated queue that accepts uneven and/or bursty flows of
packets and transmits them in a steady, predictable stream so that the network is not overwhelmed with traffic.
While traffic priority allows basic prioritization of packets, traffic shaping provides more sophisticated definitions,
such as:
• Bandwidth limit for each device
• Bandwidth limit for classes of rules
• Prioritization policy
• TCP serialization on a device
Additionally, QoS traffic shaping rules can be defined for a default device. These rules will be used on a device that
has no definitions of its own. This enables the definition of QoS rules on the default WAN, for example, and their
maintenance even if the PPP or bridge device over the WAN is removed.
The matching of packets by rules is connection-based, known as Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI ), using the
Router’s firewall mechanism. Once a packet matches a rule, all subsequent packets with the same attributes receive
the same QoS parameters, both inbound and outbound. Connection-based QoS also allows inheriting QoS
parameters by some of the applications that open subsequent connections. For instance, QoS rules can be defined on
SIP, and the rules will apply to both control and data ports (even if the data ports are unknown). Applications that
support such inheritance have an application-level gateway (ALG) in the firewall.
To add a traffic shaping rule, click the New Entry link.

drop-down list. Next, click the desired New Entry link to add a class.
Tx Traffic Shaping
The bandwidth of a device can be divided in order to reserve constant portions of bandwidth to predefined
traffic types. Such a portion is known as a Shaping Class. When not used by its predefined traffic type, or
owner (for example VoIP), the class will be available to all other traffic. However when needed, the entire
class is reserved solely for its owner. Moreover, you can limit the maximum bandwidth that a class can use
even if the entire bandwidth is available. Configure the following fields:
Tx Bandwidth
This parameter limits the gateway's bandwidth transmission rate. The purpose is to limit the bandwidth of the WAN
device to that of the weakest outbound link, for instance, the DSL speed provided by the ISP. This forces the router
to be the network bottleneck, where sophisticated QoS prioritization can be performed. If the device's bandwidth is
not limited correctly, the bottleneck will be in an unknown router or modem on the network path, rendering this
router’s QoS useless.

TCP Serialization
You can enable TCP Serialization in its combo box, either for active voice calls only or for all traffic. The screen
will refresh, adding a 'Maximum Delay' field. This function allows you to define the maximal allowed transmission
time frame (in milliseconds) of a single packet. Any packet that requires a longer time to be transmitted, will be
fragmented to smaller sections. This avoids transmission of large, bursty packets that may cause delay or jitter for
real-time traffic such as VoIP. If you insert a delay value in milliseconds, the delay in number of bytes will be
automatically updated on refresh.
For example, if you click the New Entry link in the Tx Traffic Shaping section of the Edit Device Traffic Shaping
screen the Add Shaping Class screen will appear.
Name the new class and click OK to save the settings, e.g., Class A. Now click the class name to edit the shaping

If you clicked the edit icon in the preceding screen, the Edit Shaping Class screen will appear.
Configure the following fields by entering or selecting the desired values:
Name—The name of the class.
Class Priority—The class can be granted one of eight priority levels, zero being the highest and seven the lowest
(note the obversion when compared to the rules priority levels). This level sets the priority of a class in comparison
to other classes on the device.
Bandwidth—The reserved transmission bandwidth in kilo-bits per second. You can limit the maximum allowed
bandwidth by selecting Specify in the drop-down list. The screen will refresh, adding yet another Kbits/s.
Policy—The class policy determines the policy of routing packets inside the class. Select one of the four options:
Priority—Priority queuing utilizes multiple queues, so that traffic is distributed among queues based on
priority. This priority is defined according to packet's priority, which can be defined explicitly, by a DSCP
value, or by a 802.1p value.
FIFO—The “First In, First Out” priority queue. This queue ignores any previously-marked priority that
packets may have.
Fairness—The fairness algorithm ensures no starvation by granting all packets a certain level of priority.
RED— The Random Early Detection algorithm utilizes statistical methods to drop packets in a
“probabilistic” way before queues overflow. Dropping packets in this way slows a source down enough to
keep the queue steady and reduces the number of packets that would be lost when a queue overflows and a
host is transmitting at a high rate.
Schedule—By default, the class will always be active. However, you can configure scheduler rules in order
to define time segments during which the class may be active. Refer to section 15.21, “Scheduler Rule,” for details
on setting up schedule rules.

15.7.4 Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) Settings
If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen and then click DSCP Settings in the left submenu,
the following screen appears.
Familiarity with the Differentiated Services model is essential to understanding DSCP. Differentiated Services
(Diffserv) is a Class of Service (CoS) model that enhances best-effort Internet services by differentiating traffic by
users, service requirements, and other criteria. Packets are specifically marked, allowing network nodes to provide
different levels of service, as appropriate for voice calls, video playback, or other delay-sensitive applications, via
priority queuing or bandwidth allocation, or by choosing dedicated routes for specific traffic flows.
Diffserv defines a field in IP packet headers referred to as the Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP). Hosts or
routers passing traffic to a Diffserv-enabled network will typically mark each transmitted packet with an appropriate
DSCP. The DSCP markings are used by Diffserv network routers to appropriately classify packets and to apply a
particular queue handling or scheduling behavior to packets.
The Router provides a table of predefined DSCP values, which are mapped to 802.1p priority marking method. Any
of the existing DSCP setting can be edited or deleted, and new entries can be added. To add a new DSCP value,
press the New Entry link at the bottom of this screen.

If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen and then click 802.1P Settings in the left submenu,
the following screen appears.
The IEEE 802.1p priority marking method is a standard for prioritizing network traffic at the data link/Mac sub-
layer. 802.1p traffic is simply classified and sent to the destination, with no bandwidth reservations established.
The 802.1p header includes a 3-bit prioritization field, which allows packets to be grouped into eight levels of
priority. By default, the highest priority is seven, which might be assigned to network-critical traffic. Values five and
six may be applied to delay-sensitive applications such as interactive video and voice. Data classes four through one
range from controlled-load applications down to “loss eligible” traffic. Zero is the value for unassigned traffic and is
used as a best effort default, invoked automatically when no other value has been set.
A packet can match more than one rule. This means the following:
• The first class rule has precedence over all other class rules (scanning is stopped once the first rule is
reached).
• The first traffic-priority (classless) rule has precedence over all other traffic priority rules.
• There is no prevention of a traffic-priority rule conflicting with a class rule. In this case, the priority and
DSCP setting of the class rule (if given) will take precedence.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static hostname, allowing a computer
on the network to be more easily accessible from the Internet. Typically, when connecting to the Internet, the service
provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a
specific connection. Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP addresses, while
maintaining a constant domain name. This allows to user to access a device from a remote location, since the device
will always have the same IP address.
When using Dynamic DNS, each time the IP address provided by the service provider changes, the DNS database
changes accordingly to reflect the change. If the IP address of the computer changes often, its domain name remains
constant and accessible.
NOTE: To use Dynamic DNS, you must subscribe to this service via your service provider.
To configure a new dynamic DNS entry, click the New Dynamic DNS Entry link.

Network Objects is a method used to abstractly define a set of LAN hosts, according to one or more MAC
address, IP address, and host name. Defining such a group can assist when configuring system rules. For
example, network objects can be used when configuring the Router’s security filtering settings such as IP
address filtering, host name filtering or MAC address filtering. You can use network objects to apply security rules
based on host names instead of IP addresses. This may be useful, since IP addresses change from time to time.

15.27 IP Address Distribution
If you click Advanced in the top navigation menu and then select the IP Address Distribution link, the following
screen appears.
Your Router's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server makes it possible to easily add computers that
are configured as DHCP clients to the home network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses and
delivering network configuration parameters to such hosts. The Router’s default DHCP server is the LAN bridge.
A client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the LAN requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then
checks its list of available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period and simultaneously
designates this IP address as “taken.” At this point the host is configured with an IP address for the duration of the
lease.
To configure the DHCP Sever settings, click the Network (Home/Office) link, the following screen appears. Enter
the desired DHCP settings in the fields provided, and then click Apply to save the settings.
