However, y ou can also manage the Modem fro m a remote host by checking the En abled check box, a nd if you wish you can se t a HOST ADDRESS, whi ch will only allow that c omp uter to use rem ote management. The port field s hou ld be left as the default set ting of 8080 unless you n eed to change it. A fte r any changes are made you must click on “Sa ve Settings” to app ly them.

Note: If you ch eck “Enabled” an d s pecify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, an y host can man age the Modem.

For re mote management via WAN IP ad dress you need t o c onnect using port 8 080 . Simply enter WAN IP address followed by :8080 in the addres s field of your web browser, for example, 123. 123 .123.123:8080. This applies un less you change the port setting, in w hic h case you need to subs tit ute the 8080 for wh atever port you ass ign .

DNS

Domain Name Ser vers are used to map a d omain name (e.g., www.somesite. com) to the equ ivalent numerical IP ad dress (e.g., 64.14 7.2 5.20). Your ISP should p rovide the IP addres s of one or more Domain Name Ser vers. If your ISP require s y ou to manually spe cify the addres ses, enter them on this page.

See the tabl e f or a description of the parameters.

Parameter Description

Pro toc ol • Disable: Disables the connection.

• 1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2 technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and increase the number of stations on a LAN without compromising performance. Bridged data is encapsulated using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data transport.

• PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method of encapsulating data for transmission to a far point.

• 1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, lowcost connection to the Internet via a standard Ethernet port. The Modem looks up the network address for each packet seen on the LAN port. If the address is listed in the routing table as local, it is filtered. If the address is listed under the ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found, then it is automatically forwarded to the default Modem (i.e., the Modem at the head end).

• PPPoE: Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a common connection method used for xDSL.

• MAC Encapsulated Routing: If your ADSL service is a Bridged mode service and you want to share the connection to multiple PC’s, please select MAC Encapsulated Routing. MER is a protocol that allows you do IP routing with NAT enabled.

VPI/VCI See Vi rtual Path Identifi er (VPI) and Vir tual Circuit

Identifier ( VCI ). Data flows are broke n u p into fixed length cells , e ach of which con tai ns a Virtual Pat h Identifier ( VPI ) that identifie s t he path between two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifie r ( VCI) that identifies t he data channel wit hin that virtual path. Each virtual ci rcuit main tai ns a constant flow of cells betwee n t he two end point s. When there is no data to t ran smit, empty cell s a re sent. When data needs t o b e transmitted, i t i s immediately inserted int o t he cell flows.

Use Address Mapping to allow a limi ted number of public IP ad dresses to be translated i nto multiple private IP a ddresses for use on the i nte rna l L AN network. Thi s a lso hides the internal netwo rk for increa sed privacy and security.

Port Forwarding

If you confi gure the Port Forwarding settings, rem ote users accessing services suc h a s web or FTP at yo ur local site via public I P a ddresses can be autom ati cally red irected to local se rvers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the re quested service (TCP/UDP por t n umber), the Modem redirects th e external service request to the ap propriate ser ver (located at ano the r internal IP address).

For example, if you set Type /Public Port to TCP /80 (HTTP or web) and the LAN IP Address/LA N P ort to 10.1.1.3/80, th en all HTTP req ues ts from outsi de users will be tr ans ferred to 10. 1.1 .3 on port 80. Theref ore, by just ent ering the IP add ress provi ded by the ISP, Inter net users can ac ces s the service th ey need at the local a ddress to whi ch you re direct them.

The more common TCP servi ce ports include:

HTTP: 80, FT P: 21, Telnet: 23, an d POP3: 110.

Special Appl ica tions

Some applica tio ns, such as Internet gaming , video conferencing, Internet telephony an d others, require mul tip le connections.

UPnP

UPnP (Univer sal Plug-andPlay) is a t ech nology that off ers seamless operation of voice mes sag ing, video messaging, g ame s, and other applic ati ons that are UP nP-compliant. Some applica tio ns require the Modem’s firew all to be config ured in a specific way to operate pro per ly. This us ual ly req uires opening TC P and UDP port s, and in some instanc es, setting trigger po rts. An application th at is UPnP compliant ha s t he ability to co mmu nicate with the Mod em, basically “telling” th e M odem which way i t n eeds the fire wal l configured. The Modem ships wit h the UPnP featu re disabled. If you are using an y applications th at are UPn P-c ompliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP fea tures, you ca n enable the UPnP f eat ure. Click on the “Enable” but ton then click on t he “SAV E SETTINGS” button to save your setting s.
