connected to Internet, and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re using

at a certain time.

This router supports DDNS service of following service providers:

 3322 (http://www.3322.org/)

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a special area in your local network. This area resides in local network, and all computers in this area uses private IP address, too. But these private IP addresses are mapped to a certain Internet IP address, so other people on Internet can fully access those computers in DMZ.

NOTE: Please note that every public IP address can be mapped to a single Client PC IP address only.

All existing DMZ entries will be displayed in ‘Current DMZ Table’:

3-5-5 Fail Over

WAN failure detection works by detecting the presence of traffic on the 3G modem link. If the link is idle for too long, the router will attempt to ping a target IP address. If the ping does not reply, the router assumes the link is down and attempts to fail over to the Ethernet WAN link.

The “3G Limit Control” function measures the amount of 3G data transmission in months. For example, if you select “19”, the “Cumulative 3G Data” value will reset on the

of every month. The “Cumulative 3G Data” value will also reset if you power off the device or if the network has been disconnected.

3-6 NAT

Item Name

Description

Enable Virtual Server

Check this box to enable virtual server, and uncheck this box to disable virtual server.

Private IP

Input the IP address of the computer which provides Internet service.

Computer name

All computer names found by this broadband router on local network will be listed here. You

can select the computer name and click ‘<<’ button to add selected computer’s IP address to ‘Private IP’ field.

Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service providers only provide very few

IP addresses to every user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single

Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to Internet.

This broadband router supports four types of NAT functions, and the instructions of these functions will be given below.

3-6-1 Virtual Server

This function allows you to redirect a port on Internet IP address (on WAN port) to a specified port of an IP address on local network, so you can setup an Internet service on the computer on local network, without exposing it on Internet directly. You can also build many sets of port redirection, to provide many different Internet services on different local computers via a single Internet IP address.

Please note that this list may not be able to list all computers on your local network.

Private Port

Input the port number of the IP address which provides Internet service.

Type

Select the type of connection, TCP or UDP. If you’re not sure, please select ‘Both’

Public Port

Please select the port number of Internet IP address which will be redirected to the port number of local IP address defined above.
