Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Welcome to the 3G / VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ Firewall Router. The router is an “all-in-one” ADSL
router, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch functionalities,
providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over
your ADSL broadband connection. With features such as an ADSL Quick-Start wizard and DHCP
Server, you can be online in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and configuration, catering for
first-time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection
and network. In addition, the WPS feature is follow Wi-Fi Alliance WPS standard and it ease set up
of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks in the home and small office environment.
Features
Express Internet Access
The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24
Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also
broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio
much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2;
G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis.
plus (ITU G.992.5)).
3G
3G-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G USB modem), with automatic fail-over
to ensure an always-on Internet connection in the event that one of your Internet services fails.
Secure WLAN setup is simplified by the web browser-based configuration for easy access to the
Internet wherever a 3G connection is available - whether you're seated at your desk or taking a
cross-country train trip.
EWAN
Besides using 3G/ADSL to get connected to the Internet, the router offers its Ethernet port 1 as a
WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster
method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.
Dual WAN
Dual WAN is a new way of getting connected to the internet which is to use each two of the
3G/ADSL/EWAN to deal with the unexpected case and balance traffic load. That is a way of
improving greatly the robustness.
802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support (Wireless model only)
With integrated 802.11g 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 54 Mbps 802.11g data rate,
it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the
security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.
1
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. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used
directly for auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation
overATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a
connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Quick Installation Wizard
It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the
information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.
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. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture
leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and
data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net
meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP
address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as
web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI
Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker patternfiltering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The router
is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed through the
firewall to the private LAN.
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay
It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.
com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, every
DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in 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. For example, to use the service, you must first apply
for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are
supported.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by
2
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 source IP address, destination 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 (“port forwarding”)
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming
service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer
to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and
expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is
protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside
network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets
from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It
provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Static and RIP1/2 Routing
It has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
Web based GUI
It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage
this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
Rich Management Interfaces
It supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users
can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and manage the device, or
Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the
LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.
Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same
telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless
you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician),
and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected
properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows7/98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista,
etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC 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.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs 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 of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router
using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to
uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address
of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

Port Setting
This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some
of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well
allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.
Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex,
10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet
compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to
solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specific
problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.
IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2
nd
octet of an IP
packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.
This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet priority is set as high, its
transmission will be given the first priority it will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore,
when this feature is enabled, the router’s Ethernet switch will first check the 2
nd
octet of each IP
packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the values checked in the table (0 to 63), this packet
will be treated as high priority.
59
DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the
router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP
addresses to the PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
To disable the router DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the
DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on your
network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (by default this is
192.168.1.254).
To configure the router DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can then configure
parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to
be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time
the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details
are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
Click Apply to enable this function. If you check Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will
perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and
forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the
DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function
only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.
Click Apply to enable this function.

TEL No.: The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G user internetworking call. It may be provided by
your mobile service provider.
APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The
service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements
for APN assignment varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an
internet portal which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet i.e. Some
3G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “internet”.
Username: Enter the username provided by your service provider.
Password: Enter the password provided by your service provider.
Authentication Type: Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using
(when acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when they are
connecting to you (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted,
while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different
periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain
systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks
the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone
3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your
network / service provider to unlock it.
Connection:
Always On: The router will make UMTS/GPRS call when starting up. Enabling Always On,
will give you an option of Keep Alive.
Keep Alive: Set Enable to allow the router automatically reconnects the connection when ISP
disconnect it.
Connect to Demand: If you want to make UMTS/GPRS call only when there is a packet re-
questing access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the
Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time. Enabling Connect on
Demand will give you an option of Idle Timeout.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the connection when there is no activity on this call for a pre-
determined period of time. The default value is 10 seconds.
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this checkbox to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are
passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Note: If you don’t know how to set these values and please keep them untouched.
EWAN
In EWAN mode, LAN 1 port will be configured as EWAN port for connecting to Internet.
Protocol: You can select one of four protocols for the router’s WAN settings: Obtain an IP
Address Automatically, Fixed IP Address, PPPoE, Pure Bridge.
1. Obtain an IP Address Automatically: Select this item if the device is connected to a router
that has DHCP functionality enabled.
Obtain DNS: Check the Automatic to enable the router to configure this value, or type in the
Primary and Secondary DNS values provided by your ISP.
2. Fixed IP Address: Select this item if your DSL provides you with a static IP address.
IP(0.0.0.0: Auto): Type the IP address that your ISP provided.
Netmask: Type the subnet mask that your ISP provided.
Gateway: Type the gateway address that your ISP provided.
Obtain DNS: Check the Automatic to enable the router to configure this value, or type in the
Primary and Secondary DNS values provided by your ISP.
3. PPPoE: Select this item if your ISP uses the PPPoE protocol.
Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric
characters(case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname“ instead of simply
“username“.
Password: Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric
characters (case sensitive).
Service Name: This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP provides you the
information. Maximum input is 15 alphanumeric characters.
IP (0.0.0.0: Auto): Your WAN IP address. Leave this at 0.0.0.0 to obtain automatically an IP
address from your ISP.
Auth Protocol: Default is Auto. Your ISP should advise you on whether to use Chap or Pap.
Connection: If you want the router to establish a PPPoE session when starting up and to
automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP, please select
Always on. If you want to establish a PPPoE session only when there is a packet requesting
access to Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the Internet), please
select Connect on Demand.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the router when there is no activity on the line for a predetermined
period of time.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
Obtain DNS: Check the Automatic to enable the router to configure this value, or type in the
Primary and Secondary DNS values provided by your ISP.
4. Pure Bridge: Select this item if just want to connect your ISP by other device or PC.
Acceptable Frame Type: Select acceptall or accepttaggedonly. acceptall is default value.
Filter Type: Alow All, IP or PPPoE packets to go through the device.
ADSL Mode
Connect Mode: This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, ADSL2+, ADSL2,
AnnexM2 and AnnexM2+, ADSL, All. Please keep it as the factory setting unless ADSL is detected
as the symptom of synchronization problem.
Modulation: It will automatically detect the capability of your ADSL line mode. Please use the
factory setting unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of synchronization problem.
Profile Type: Please keep the factory settings unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of low link
rate or unstable problems. You may need to change the profile setting to reach the best ADSL line
rate, it depends on the differences of DSLAM and location.
Activate Line: When set to false, the system will abort the ADSL line connection. When set to
true, the system will reconnect the ADSL line.
Coding Gain: It reduces router’s transmit power which will effect to router’s downstream
performance. Higher the gain will increase the downstream rate but it sometimes causes unstable
ADSL line. The configurable ADSL coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic.
Tx Attenuation: It is the amount of power that modem (upstream) or DSLAM (downstream) is
using. The lower the power the better the performance will be in modem upstream.
Elapsed Time: This is the ADSL connection uptime.
System
These are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade,
Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.
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 will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer
to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above.
Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during
summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check
Enable checkbox to set your local time.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order 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.
Remote Access
This feature enables system administrator to set the time interval where the router can be accessed
for administration purpose from a remote site (i.e. from outside your LAN).
If you wish to permanently enable remote access, set the time period to 0 minute.
Firmware Upgrade
Your router firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think
of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this
software may be improved and revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs
to take advantage of these changes.
Clicking on Browse will allow 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.
Backup / Restore
This function allows you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a file on your
PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is very useful if you wish to customize the
setting of the router, knowing in advance that you can always restore the setting if any mistakes do
occur. Therefore, It is advisable that you create a backup of the configuration of your router before
customizing its configuration.
Create a Router Configuration Backup
To create a backup of the setting, simply press the Backup button and specify the location on where
to save your configuration file. You may also change the name of the file if you wish to keep multiple
backups.
Restoring the Router Configuration
To restore the configuration of the router, press Browse to locate the configuration file from your PC.
Once the file has been located, click on the file then click on the Restore button to load the setting.
Note: You should only restore the setting with the files that have been created using the
Backup function with the most current firmware version. Settings files saved to your PC
should not be manually edited in any way.
Restart Router
Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved
configuration).
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.
You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more
than 6 seconds on the back of your router.
Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, to be sure you power
cycle the device again.
User Management
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires that all
users are to login the GUI with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their
own password. You can Edit any existing user accounts and Add new user account to grant access
to the device configuration interface.
Edit Account Information
You can change the information of any account whether the account is active or valid.
1. To edit an account, select the Edit radio button of the account to be edited. Once selected, all
information of that account will be displayed.
2. Delete the information to be edited and replace it with the new one.
3. When it is done, simply click on the Edit/ Delete button to save your changes.
Note: It is recommended that you change the password immediately to prevent security
breach to your GUI.
To Add an Account
1. Check the Valid checkbox, fill in all the information: User name, Comment (optional), Password,
Confirm Password.
2. When it is done, click the Add button.
To delete a user account:
Click on the Delete radio button of the account you want to delete.
Then click the Edit/Delete to confirm the deletion.
Note: You can delete any user account except for the default admin account. Thus there is
no delete radio button available for this account.
Mail Alert
Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnel alerted of any
unexpected events that might have occured to the network computers or server for monitoring
efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may
have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained.
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 (Failover / Failback): Enter the email address that will receive the alert
message once a computer / network server failover occurs.
Recipient’s Email (WAN IP Change Alert): Enter the email address that will receive the
alert message once a WAN IP change has been detected.
Firewall and Access Control
Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for Internet access controlling
from your LAN. This feature also protects your system from being attacked by hackers. When
using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will have their
own private IP addresses which are not directly accessible from the Internet. The router provides
three levels of security support.
NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to users on the
Internet, thus making it more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural
firewall is turned on when NAT function is enabled.
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to
prevent unauthorized computers or applications to access your local network from the Internet.
Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.
Access Control: Prevent access from PCs on your local network.
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to
prevent unauthorized computers or applications from accessing the Internet.
URL Filter: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.
Listed are the items under the Firewall section: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection,
URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.
General Settings
You can choose to disable Firewall and still be able to access the URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking
or enable the Firewall using the preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The
Packet Filter is used to filter packets based on Applications (Port) or IP addresses.
There are four policy options to choose from:
All blocked/User-defined: no predefined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that
all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users
have to add their own filter rules to access the Internet.
High/Medium/Low security level: the predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low
security are displayed in the Port Filters of the Packet Filter.
Select either High, Medium or Low security level to enable Firewall protection. The only difference
between these three is the preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall function is the same
for all levels; it is only the list of preset port filters that changes between each setting. For more detail
on level of preset port filter information, please refer to Table 1: Predefined Port Filter.
If you choose the preset security levels and add custom filters, the level of filter rules will be saved
and you do not need to re-configure the rules again if you disable or switch to the other security
level.
Block WAN Request: A standalone function that is not affected by whether the security is enabled
or disabled. This is used to prevent any scan tools that might be from hackers.
SIP ALG: Enable this feature activates the operation of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) through the
NAT firewall.
FTP ALG: Enable this feature will activate the management of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) through
the NAT firewall.
Packet Filter
This function is only available when Firewall is enabled with one of the four security levels selected
(All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must be
modified accordingly to the level of security selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for more
detail information.
Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules
The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1.
Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-defined, you must define and create the port filter rules
yourself. No predefined rule is being preconfigured.

Example: Configuring your firewall to allow a publicly accessible web server on your LAN
The predefined port filter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same whether the firewall is set to a
high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when the
firewall is enabled, you have to configure the Port Filters setting for HTTP.
As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets
(Low/Medium/High) security level selected, an inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means
remote access through HTTP to your router is not allowed.
Note: Inbound indicates accessing from the Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to
the Internet.
Configuring Packet Filter:
1. Select Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predefined port filter rules screen (in
this case for the low security level), shown below:
Note: Y ou may click Edit the predefined rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show
to how you add a filter on your own.
2. If you want to delete a filter rule, select the delete radio button of the HTTP rule you want to
delete. Then click the Edit/Delete button to delete the rule.
3. To add a new rule, Input the Rule Name, Time Schedule, Source/Destination IP, Type, Source/
Destination Port, Inbound and Outbound. Then click the Add button.
Example:
Application: Cindy_HTTP
Time Schedule: Always On
Source / Destination IP Address(es): 0.0.0.0 (I do not wish to active the address-filter, instead I
use the port-filter)
Type: TCP (Please refer to Table1: Predefined Port Filter)
Source Port: 0-65535 (I allow all ports to connect to the application)
Redirect Port: 80-80 (This is Port defined for HTTP)
Inbound / Outbound: Allow
1. The new port filter rule for HTTP is shown below.
2. Configure your Virtual Server (“port forwarding”) settings so that any incoming HTTP request on
port 80 will be forwarded to the PC running your web server.
Note: For how to configure the HTTP in Virtual Server, please refer to the Add Virtual Server
subsection under the Virtual Server section for more detail.
Intrusion Detection
The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack and intrusion
attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are
filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion
attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be
added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time
period specified in the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some
types of attack are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land attack
and Echo/CharGen scan.
Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false.
Block Duration:
Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks. Default
value is 600 seconds.
Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan and similar at-
tempts. Default value is 86400 seconds.
DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block include Ascend
Max 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.
Max 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.
Max 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).
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It
cannot protect against such attacks.
