Enable Enable the Special Application function.

IP Address

TCP Port to Open

UDP Port to Open

Comment The description of this setting.

Popular Applications

Type IP Address for the Popular Application. The computer with this IP

address acts as a host IP with unlimited Internet access.

Enter the In-coming (Inbound) port for this type of application (e.g.

2300-2400, 47624).

Note: Individual port numbers are separated by a comma (e.g. 47624, 5775,

and 6541 etc.).

This section lists the more popular applications that require multiple

connections. Select an application from the Popular Applications selection.

Once you have selected an application, click the “Add” button in right side of

this setting. This will automatically copy the Port Trigger information required

for this popular application into the input fields. Add Add the settings into the “Current Trigger Port Table”. Reset Click “Reset” will clear your current settings to allow you to enter again.

select the MAC addresses you want to remove in the table and then click

“Delete Selected”.

Example: Special Applications If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port (outb ound) normally associated with that application in the "Trigger Port" field. Then select the protocol type (TCP or UDP) and enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them up for inbound traffic.

Example:

No. IP Addres s TCP Port to Open UDP Port to Open Comment

1 28800 1100-3400, 24689 2300-2400, 47624 MSN Game Zone

2 6112 5413 6112 Battle.net

In the example above, when a user trigger’s port 28800 (outbound) for MSN Game Zone then the router will allow incoming packets for ports 2300-2400 and 47624 to be directed to that user.

Note: Only one LAN client can use a particular special application at a time.

5.6.5 UPnP

UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the Plug and Play peripheral model. It is designed to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a breadth of device categories from a wide range of vendors.

With UPnP, a devic e can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices-all automatically; truly enabling zero configuration networks. Devices can subsequently communicate with each other directly; thereby further enabling peer to peer networking.

5.7.4 DMZ

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets from your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) to one particular LAN client/server.

Parameters Description

Enable/disable DMZ. Enable DMZ

You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the WEP Key. Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data. Only the key you select it in the “Default key” will take effect. The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.

6.7.2 WPA-PSK

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very much.
