Introduction

1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7300(N)

Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300(N) Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.

The BiPAC 7300(N) router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports downstream rates of up to 12 or 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 3 Mbps. Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.

The BiPAC 7300(N) supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection, the BiPAC 7300(N) allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal users from accessing the Internet.

The BiPAC 7300(N) provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.

The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to the

LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can set the router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

1.2 Features

Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable

The BiPAC 7300(N) complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 8 Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 3 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever. The router is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); and G.dmt.bisplus (ITU G.992.5).

802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support

With integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (ADSL) with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps

802.11n data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.

EWAN

Besides using ADSL to get connected to the Internet, BiPAC 7300(N) offers its Ethernet port 1 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL and fibre optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection The router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with an ISP. The router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.

Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Firewall NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name System Relay Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly name such as www.google.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server to the router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. To use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

The BiP AC 7300(N) provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by Internal IP address, External IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server:

You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside Internet network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP addresses, including subnet masks and DNS IP addresses and distributes them to local computers. This provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Rich Packet Filtering

This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.

Web-based GUI A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through its web-based GUI.

1.3 Applications of the BiPAC 7300(N)

Chapter 2

Product Overview

Standards-Based Technology

The BiPAC 7300(N) Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11g standard. It increases the data rate up to 300 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology . This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.

Installation Considerations

The BiPAC 7300(N) Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the BiPAC 7300(N) and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 7300(N) wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)

Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. Position the devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminium studs may have a negative effect on range.

Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF (radio frequency) noise.

2.5 Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is because of bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. V erify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analog modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and to ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed being the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, which includes frequent disconnections.

Installation

You can configure the BiPAC 7300(N) router through the convenient and user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux and Windows 7/Vista/98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly or through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253). The easiest way is to configure the PC is to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems when trying to access the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all, check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method.

Wi-Fi Network Setup (only for BiPAC 7300N)

PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar

1. Jot down the client’s Pin (eg. 16837546).

2. Enter the Enrollee’s PIN number and then press Start.

3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.

4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar.

PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee

1. In the WPS configuration page, change the Role to Enrollee. Then press Start.

2. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 25879810).

3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.

The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID

and security setting of the registrar.

5. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.

PBC Method:

1. Press the PBC button of the AP.

2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.

3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.

Wi-Fi Network Setup with Windows Vista WCN:

1. Jot down the AP PIN from the Web (eg. 25879810).

2. Access the Wireless configuration of the web GUI. Enable WPS service, set the WPS State to Unconfigured and then click Apply.

3. In your Vista operating system, access the Control Panel page, then select Network and Internet > View Network Computers and Devices. Double click on the BiPAC 7300N icon and enter the AP PIN in the column provided then press Next.

5.3.2.3 AD SL Mode

ADSL Mode: There are four modes “Open Annex Type and Follow DSLAM’s Setting”, ”Annex A”, ”Annex L”, ”Annex M” and “Annex J” that user can select for this connection.

Modulator: There are seven modes “AUTO”,”ADSL multimode”,”ADSL2”,”ADSL2+”,

“G.Lite:”, “T1.413” and “G.DMT” that user can select for this connection.

5.3.3 System

There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.

5.3.3.1 Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

5.3.3.2 Firmware Upgrade

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality . Think of your router as a dedicated computer , and the firmware as the sof tware it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

Restart Device with: To choose “Factory Default Settings” or “Current Settings” which

uses your current setting on the new firmware (it is highly advised to use Factory Default Settings over Current Settings for a clean firmware upgrade).

New Firmware Image: Type in the location of the file you wish to upload in this field or

click Browse… to locate it.

Browse…: Click Browse… to find the file with the .afw file extension that you wish to upload. Remember that you must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upgrade from the file.

Upgrade: Click upgrade to begin the upload process. This process may take up to three minutes.

Warning

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrade while it is still in process. Improper operation may damage the router. Please see section 2.4 for emergency recovery procedures.

5.3.3.3 Backup / Restore

These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.

Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Press Browse… to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version of the router’s firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

Select the settings files you wish to use, and press Restore to load those settings into the router.

5.3.3.4 Restart Router

Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and save the current configuration to device.

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

5.3.3.5 User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. Y ou can set up multiple user account s, each with their own password.

You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s configuration interface. Once you have clicked Edit on the account you want to edit, the information of the account will be displayed above. Just go ahead and change the password. You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and Valid. These options are the same when creating a user account, with the exception that once created you cannot change the username. You cannot delete the default admin account; however you can delete any other created accounts by clicking ticking the box under Delete and then press the Edit/Delete button.

You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.

5.3.3.6 Mail Alert

Send a log via email, if WAN IP is changed or if intruders accessing your computer without permission.

SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails. Username: Enter the username of your email account to be used by the SMTP server. Password: Enter the password of your email account. Sender’s Email: Enter your email address. Recipient’s Email (WAN IP Change Alert): Enter the email address that will receive the

alert message once a computer / network server failover occurs.

Alert Mail Time (Intrusion Detection): The interval for sending alert mail. Recipient’s Email (Intrusion Detection): Enter the email address that will receive the alert

message once intrusion has been detected.

5.3.4 Firewall

Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NA T (Network Address T ranslation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.

Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network. NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside

users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when the NAT function is enabled.

When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.

Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks.

MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet. URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section below: Packet Filter, MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and

URL Filter.

5.3.4.1 Packet Filter

Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.

Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length is

32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox.

Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.

Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to. Select TCP if you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the remote server using the port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service on the remote server using the port number.

Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, Forward (allows the packets to pass) or Drop (disallow the packets to pass) this packet.

Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the

Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.

External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.

Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.

Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.

Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at the

bottom table.

Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.

Delete: Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”.

Reorder: Be aware that packet filtering parameters appear in priority order i.e. the first one takes precedence over all other rules. There is a sort function next to the Rule Name column, you can move the rule to higher or lower priority by clicking the Order arrow, and press “Reorder” to save the new priority.

Attention

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router.

5.3.4.2 MAC Filter

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements.

The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

Filter Action

Action: Select an action for MAC Filter. This feature is disabled by default. Check Allow or Block to activate the filter.

Parameters

MAC Address: Enter the ethernet MAC addresses you wish to have the filter rule applies.

Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

5.3.4.3 Intrusion Detection

Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network resources.

Intrusion Detection: Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your

computer without permission.

Maximum TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.

Maximum Ping Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.

Maximum ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).

Log: Check Log if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the Intrusion Detection.

For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log but it will not be able to protect against such attacks.

5.3.4.4 Block WAN PING

Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router.

5.3.4.5 URL Filter

URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specific keywords within a p articular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list is checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.

For example, the URL http://www.abc.com/abcde.html would be dropped since the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL.

Domains Filtering: Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is:

1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection

attempt is sent to the remote web server.

2. If not, it is checked with the forbidden list. If present, the connection attempt is dropped.

3. If the packet matches neither of the above, it is sent to the remote web server.

4. Please be note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name shall be specified. For

example to block traffic to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com”

Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules.

~ Block Java Applet: Blocks Web content which includes the Java Applet to prevent

someone who wants to damage your system via the standard HTTP protocol.

~ Block ActiveX: Blocks ActiveX ~ Block Cookies: Blocks Cookies ~ Block Proxy: Blocks Proxy

Except IP Address:

Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Log: Click “Log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the URL Filter.

5.3.5 QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service Introduction

If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.

QoS: Keeping Your Net Connection Fast and Responsive

Configurable by internal IP address, external IP address, protocol, and port, the Quality of Service (QoS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring bandwidth-consumption data like gaming packets, latency-sensitive application like voice, or even mission critical files, move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router. In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

QoS Setup

Please choose the QoS in the Configuration item of the left window as depicted below.

After clicking the QoS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QoS policy. This page will show the brief information for policies you have added or edited. This page will also display the total available (Non-assigned) bandwidth, in percentage, can be assigned.

Application: A name that identifies an existing policy.

Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QoS policy.

There are two settings to be provided in the Router: ~ LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QoS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting. ~ WAN to LAN: Control Traffic flow from the WAN to LAN. The connection maybe either issued from LAN to WAN or WAN to LAN.)

Protocol: The Protocol will be controlled. For GRE protocol, there is no need to specify the IP addresses or Application ports in this page. For other protocols, at least one value shall be given.

~ ANY : No protocol type is specified. ~ TCP ~ UDP ~ ICMP ~ GRE: For PPTP VPN Connections.

DSCP Marking: Dif ferentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify traffic based on DSCP value and send packets to next Router.

Note: To be sure the router(s) in the backbones network have the capability in executing and checking the DSCP through-out the QoS network.
