I. Introduction
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router (referred as VPN Router hereby) is a business level security router that efficiently integrates new generation multiple WAN-port devices. It meets the needs of both medium and large-scale enterprises, internet cafés, and communities, etc. Apart from its internet connectivity that suits the broadband market, VPN Router has a built-in 10/100Mbps QoS and VLAN switching board which enables it to fulfill most enterprise and internet cafe firewall needs.
VPN Router has 2-4 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernets (RJ45) WAN ports. These WAN ports can support auto load balance mode, exclusive mode (remaining WAN balance), and stategy routing mode for high-efficiency network. They offer super flexibility for network set-up. Moreover, these WAN ports also support DHCP, fixed IP, PPPoE, transparent bridge, VPN connection, port binding, static routing, dynamic routing, NAT, one to one NAT, PAT, MAC Clone, as well as DDNS. As for LAN ports including one DMZ, they support 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet (RJ45) and provide the features of virtual route, Microsoft UPnP, VLAN, Multi Subnet, and transparent bridge mode. Internet IP addresses can also be used in intranet.
To fulfill the requirement for a highly secure and integrated firewall, VPN Router has a high-speed, high-efficiency four-core Intel IXP processor embedded. With high processing speed, plusing high standard SDRAM and Flash, VPN Router brings users super networking efficiency. Its processing speed and capacity are almost equal to those of expensive enterprise-level VPN Routers. This is why the device is so popular with modern enterprises.
In addition to internet connectability, for the broadband market, VPN Router has the function of VPN virtual network connection. It is equipped with a virtual private network hardware acceleration mode which is widely used in modern enterprises, and offers full VPN functionality.
Qno is a supporter of the IPSec Protocol. IPSec VPN provides DES, 3DES, AES-128 encryption, MD5, SH1 certification, IKE Pre-Share Key, or manual password interchange. VPN Router also supports aggressive mode. When a connection is lost, VPN Router will automatically re-connect. In addition, the device features NetBIOS transparency, and supports IP grouping for connections between clients and host in the virtual private network.
VPN Router offers the function of a standard PPTP server, which is equipped with connection setting status. Each WAN port can be set up with multiple DDNS at the same time. It is also capable of establishing VPN connections with dynamic IP addresses.
VPN Router also has unique QVM VPN- SmartLink IPSec VPN. Just input VPN server IP, user name, and password, and IPSec VPN will be automatically set up. Through VPN Router exclusive QVM function, users can set up QVM to work as a server, and have it accept other QVM series products from client ports. QVM offers easy VPN allocation for users; users can do it even without a network administrator. VPN Router enables enterprises to benefit from VPN without being troubled with technical and network management problems. The central control function enables the host to log in remote client computers at any time. Security and secrecy are guaranteed to meet the IPSec standard, so as to ensure the continuity of VPN service.

The advanced built-in firewall function enables VPN Router to resist most attacks from the Internet. It utilizes active detection technology SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). The SPI firewall functions mainly within the network by dynamically inspecting each link. The SPI firewall also has a warning function for the application process; therefore, it can refuse links to non-standard communication protocols. VPN Router supports network address translation (NAT) function and routing modes. It makes the network environment more flexible and easier to manage.
Through web- based UI, VPN Router enables enterprises to have their own network access rules . To control web access, users can build and edit filter lists. It also enables users to ban or monitor websites according to their needs. By the filter setting and complete OS management, school and business internet management will be clearly improved. VPN Router offers various on-line SysLog records. It supports on-line management setup tools; it makes setting up networks easy to understand. It also reinforces the management of network access rules, VPN, and all other network services.
VPN Router fully protects the safety of communication between all offices and branches of an organization. It helps to free enterprises from increasing hacker intrusion. With an exclusive independent operation platform, users are able to set up and use a firewall without professional network knowledge. VPN Router setting up and management can be carried out through web browsers, such as IE, Netscape, etc.

6.2 Multi- WAN Setting
6.2.1 Load Balance Mode
Auto Load Balance Mode
When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will use sessions or IP and the WAN
bandwidth automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external connections.
The network bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload bandwidth of
both WANs is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload bandwidths is
1024Kbit/sec while the other is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1. Therefore, to
ensure that the device can balance the actual network load, please input real upload and
download bandwidths.
Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will
automatically allocate connections based on session number to achieve network
load balance.
IP Session Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically
allocate connections based on IP amount to achieve network load balance.
Note!
For either session balancing or IP connection balancing, collocation with Protocol
Binding will provide a more flexible application for bandwidth. Users can assign a
specific Intranet IP to go through a specific service provider for connection, or assign an
IP for a specific destination to go through the WAN users assign to connect with the
Internet.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
36
For example, if users want to assign IP 192.168.1.100 to go through WAN 1 when
connecting with the Internet, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 2 when
connecting with servers with port 80, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 1
when connecting with IP 211.1.1.1, users can do that by configuring “Protocol Binding”.
Attention! When the Auto Load Balance mode is collocated with Protocol Binding, only IP
addresses or servers that are configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for
external connections; those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device
Auto Load Balance system.
Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up
Protocol Binding and for examples of collocating router modes with Protocol Binding.
Exclusive Mode
This mode enables users to assign specific intranet IP addresses, destination
application service ports or destination IP addresses to go through an assigned WAN for
external connection. After being assigned, the specific WAN will only support those
assigned Intranet IP addresses, specific destination application service ports, or specific
destination IP addresses. Intranet IP, specific destination application service ports and
specific destination IP that is not configured under the rules will go through other WANs for
external connection. For unassigned WANs, users can select Load Balance mode and select
session or IP for load balancing.
Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will
automatically allocate connections based on session number to achieve network
load balance.
IP Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate
connections based on the number of IP addresses to achieve network load
balance.
Note!
Only when a device assignment is collocated with Protocol Binding can the
balancing function be brought into full play. For example, an assignment requiring all
Intranet IP addresses to go through WAN 1 when connecting with service port 80, or go
through WAN 1 when connecting with IP 211.1.1.1, must be set up in the Protocol
Binding Configuration.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
37
Attention: When assigning mode is selected, as in the above example, the IP(s) or
service provider(s) configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external
connections, but those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device
Load Balance system to go through other WAN ports to connect with the Internet.
Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up
Protocol Binding and for examples of collocating router mode with Protocol Binding.
Strategy Routing Mode
If strategy Routing is selected, the device will automatically allocate external connections
based on routing policy (Division of traffic between Telecom and Netcom is to be used in China)
embedded in the device. All you have to do is to select the WAN (or WAN group) which is
connected with Netcom; the device will then automatically dispatch the traffic for Netcom through
that WAN to connect with the Internet and dispatch traffic for Telecom to go through the WAN
connected with Telecom to the Internet accordingly. In this way, the traffic for Netcom and
Telecom can be divided.
Set WAN Grouping:
If more than one WAN is connected with Netcom, to apply a similar division of traffic
policy to these WANs, a combination for the WANs must be made. Click “Set WAN Grouping”;
an interactive window as shown in the figure below will be displayed.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
38
Name: To define a name for the WAN grouping in the box, such as
“Education” etc. The name is for recognizing different WAN
groups.
Interface: Check the boxes for the WANs to be added into this
combination.
Add To List: To add a WAN group to the grouping list.
Delete selected
Item:
To remove selected WANs from the WAN grouping.
Apply: Click “Apply” to save the modification.
Close: Click “Cancel” to cancel the modification. This only works
before “Apply” is clicked.
After the configuration is completed, in the China Netcom Policy window users can select
WANs in combination to connect with Netcom.
Import Strategy:
A division of traffic policy can be defined by users too. In the “Import Strategy” window, select
the WAN or WAN group (ex. WAN 1) to be assigned and click the “Import IP Range” button; the
dialogue box for document importation will be displayed accordingly. A policy document is an
editable text document. It may contain a destination IP users designated. After the path for
document importation has been selected, click “Import”, and then at the bottom of the
configuration window click “Apply”. The device will then dispatch the traffic to the assigned
destination IP through the WAN (ex. WAN 1) or WAN grouping users designated to the Internet.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
39
To build a policy document users can use a text-based editor, such as Notepad, which is
included with Windows system. Follow the text format in the figure below to key in the destination
IP addresses users want to assign. For example, if the destination IP address range users want to
designate is 140.115.1.1 ~ 140.115.1.255, key in 140.115.1.1 ~ 140.115.1.255 in Notepad. The
next destination IP address range should be keyed in the next line. Attention! Even if only one
destination IP address is to be assigned, it should follow the same format. For example, if the
destination IP address is 210.66.161.54, it should be keyed in as 210.66.161.54~210.66.161.54.
After the document has been saved (the extension file name is .txt), users can import the IP
range of self-defined strategy.
Note!
China Netcom strategy and self-defined strategy can coexist. However, if a
destination IP is assigned by both China Netcom strategy and self-defined
strategy, China Netcom strategy will take priority. In other words, traffic to that
destination IP will be transmitted through the WAN (or WAN group) under China
Netcom strategy.
6.2.2 Network Detection Service
This is a detection system for network external services. If this option is selected, information
such “Retry” or “Retry Timeout” will be displayed. If two WANs are used for external connection,
be sure to activate the NSD system, so as to avoid any unwanted break caused by the device
misjudgment of the overload traffic for the WAN.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
40
Interface: Select the WAN Port that enables Network Service Detection.
Retry: This selects the retry times for network service detection. The
default is five times. If there is no feedback from the Internet in
the configured “Retry Times", it will be judged as “External
Connection Disconnected”.
Retry Timeout: Delay time for external connection detection latency. The default
is 30 seconds. After the retry timeout, external service detection
will restart.
When Fail: (1) Generate the Error Condition in the System Log: If an
ISP connection failure is detected, an error message will be
recorded in the System Log. This line will not be removed;
therefore, the some of the users on this line will not have
normal connections.
This option is suitable under the condition that one of the WAN
connections has failed; the traffic going through this WAN to
the destination IP cannot shift to another WAN to reach the
destination. For example, if users want the traffic to 10.0.0.1
~ 10.254.254.254 to go only through WAN1, while WAN2 is
not to support these destinations, users should select this
option. When the WAN1 connection is disconnected, packets
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
41
for 10.0.0.1~10.254.254.254 cannot be transmitted through
WAN 2, and there is no need to remove the connection when
WAN 1 is disconnected.
(2) Keep System Log and Remove the Connection: If an ISP
connection failure is detected, no error message will be
recorded in the System Log. The packet transmitted through
this WAN will be shifted to the other WAN automatically, and
be shifted back again when the connection for the original
WAN is repaired and reconnected.
This option is suitable when one of the WAN connections fails
and the traffic going through this WAN to the destination IP
should go through the other WAN to reach the destination. In
this way, when any of the WAN connections is broken, other
WANs can serve as a backup; traffic can be shifted to a WAN
that is still connected.
Detecting Feedback Servers:
Default
Gateway:
The local default communication gateway location, such as the
IP address of an ADSL router, will be input automatically by the
device. Therefore, users just need to check the option if this
function is needed. Attention! Some gateways of an ADSL
network will not affect packet detection. If users have an optical
fiber box, or the IP issued by ISP is a public IP and the gateway
is located at the port of the net café rather than at the IP
provider’s port, do not activate this option.
ISP Host: This is the detected location for the ISP port, such as the DNS IP
address of ISP. When configuring an IP address for this function,
make sure this IP is capable of receiving feedback stably and
speedily. (Please input the DNS IP of the ISP port)
Remote Host: This is the detected location for the remote Network Segment.
This Remote Host IP should better be capable of receiving
feedback stably and speedily. (Please input the DNS IP of the ISP
port).
DNS Lookup
Host:
This is the detect location for DNS. (Only a web address such as
www.hinet.net is acceptable here. Do not input an IP address.)
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
42
In addition, do not input the same web address in this box for
two different WANs.
Note
In the load balance mode for Assigned Routing, the first WAN port (WAN1) will be saved
for the traffic of the IP addresses or the application service ports that are not assigned to
other WANs (WAN2, WAN3, and WAN4). Therefore, in this mode, we recommend assigning
one of the connections to the first WAN. When other WANs (WAN2, WAN3, or WAN4) are
broken and connection error remove (Remove the Connection) has been selected for the
connection detection system, traffic will be shifted to the first WAN (WAN1). In addition, if
the first WAN (WAN1) is broken, the traffic will be shifted to other WANs in turn. For
example, the traffic will be shifted to WAN2 first; if WAN2 is broken too, the traffic will be
shifted to WAN3, and so on.
6.2.3 Protocol Binding
Bandwidth Configuration
When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will select sessions or IP and the WAN
bandwidth will automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external
connections. The network bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload
bandwidth of both WANs is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload
bandwidths is 1024Kbit/sec, while the other is 512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1.
Therefore, to ensure that the device can balance the actual network load, please input real upload
and download bandwidths. The section refers to QoS configuration. Therefore, it should be set in
QoS page. Please refer to 8.1 QoS bandwidth configuration.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
43
Protocol Binding
Users can define specific IP addresses or specific application service ports to go through a
user-assigned WAN for external connections. For any other unassigned IP addresses and services,
WAN load balancing will still be carried out.
Note
In the load balance mode of Assigned Routing, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be
assigned. It is to be saved for the IP addresses and the application Service Ports that are not
assigned to other WANs (WAN2, WAN3, and WAN4) for external connections. In other
words, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be configured with the Protocol Binding rule. This is to
avoid a condition where all WANs are assigned to specific Intranet IP or Service Ports and
destination IP, no more WAN ports will be available for other IP addresses and Service Ports.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
44
Service: This is to select the Binding Service Port to be activated. The
default (such as ALL-TCP&UDP 0~65535, WWW 80~80, FTP 21 to

Service is All 0~65535.
Option List for Service Management: Click the button to enter the
Service Port configuration page to add or remove default Service
Ports on the option list.
Source IP: Users can assign packets of specific Intranet virtual IP to go
through a specific WAN port for external connection. In the boxes
here, input the Intranet virtual IP address range; for example, if
192.168.1.100~150 is input, the binding range will be 100~150. If
only specific Service Ports need to be designated, while specific IP
designation is not necessary, input “0” in the IP boxes.
Destination
IP:
In the boxes, input an external static IP address. For example, if
connections to destination IP address 210.11.1.1 are to be
restricted to WAN1, the external static IP address 210.1.1.1 ~
210.1.1.1 should be input. If a range of destinations is to be
assigned, input the range such as 210.11.1.1 ~ 210.11.255.254.
This means the Class B Network Segment of 210.11.x.x will be

Auto Load Balancing mode when enabled
The collocation of the Auto Load Balance Mode and the Auto Load Mode will enable more
flexible use of bandwidth. Users can assign specific Intranet IP addresses to specific
destination application service ports or assign specific destination IP addresses to a WAN
users choose for external connections.
Example 1How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to assign the Intranet IP 192.168.1.100 to
WAN2 for the Internet?
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
47
As in the figure below, select “All Traffic” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and
then in the boxes of “Source IP” input the source IP address “192.168.1.100” to “100”.
Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to
include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”,
and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode.
Example 2How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep Intranet IP 192.168.1.150 ~
200 from going through WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80?
As in the figure below, select “HTTP [TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list
“Service”, and then in the boxes for “Source IP” input “192.168.1.150” to “200”. Retain the
original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all
Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then
click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
48
Example 3How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from going
through WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80 and keep all other services from going through
WAN1?
As in the figure below, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: select “HTTP
[TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of Source IP
input “192.168.1.0” to “0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). Retain the
original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (Which means to include all
Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then
click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The device
will transmit packets to Port 80 through WAN2. However, with only the above rule, packets
that do not go to Port 80 may be transmitted through WAN2; therefore, a second rule is
necessary. The second rule: Select “All Ports [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down
option list “Service”, and then input “192.168.1.2 ~ 254” in the boxes of “Source IP”. Retain
the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
49
Internet IP addresses). Select WAN1 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then
click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The device
will transmit packets that are not going to Port 80 to the Internet through WAN1.
Configuring “Assigned Routing Mode” for load Balance
IP Group: This function allows users to assign packets from specific Intranet IP
addresses or to specific destination Service Ports and to specific destination IP addresses
through an assigned WAN to the Internet. After being assigned, the specific WAN will only
support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, destination Service Ports, or destination IP
addresses. Those which are not configured will go through other WANs for external
connection. Only when this mode is collocated with “Assigned Routing” can it bring the
function into full play.
Example 1How do I set up the Assigned Routing Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from
going through WAN2 when the destination is Port 80, and keep all other services from going
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router

through WAN1?
As in the figure below, select “HTTP[TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list
“Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to
include all Intranet IP addresses). Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of
“Destination IP” (Which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the
pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the
rule will be added to the mode. After the rule is set up, only packets that go to Port 80 will
be transmitted through WAN2, while other traffics will be transmitted through WAN1.
Example 2How do I configure Protocol Binding to keep traffic from all Intranet IP addresses
from going through WAN2 when the destinations are IP 211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254 as well
as the whole Class A group of 60.1.1.1 ~ 60.254.254.254, while traffic to other destinations
goes through WAN1?
As in the following figure, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: Select “All

VII. Port Management
This chapter introduces how to configure ports and understand how to configure intranet IP
addresses.
7.1 Setup
Through the device, users can easily manage the setup for WAN ports, LAN ports and the
DMZ port by choosing the number of ports, speed, priority, duplex and enable/disable the
auto-negotiation feature for connection setting of each port.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
53
Mirror PortUsers can configure LAN 1 as mirror port by choosing “Enable Port 1 as Mirror
Port”. All the traffic from LAN to WAN will be copied to mirror port. Administrator can control or
filter the traffic through mirror port. Once this function is enabled, LAN 1 will be shown as Mirror
Port in Physical Port Status, Home page.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
54
Disabled
This feature allows users turn on/off the Ethernet port. If selected,
the Ethernet port will be shut down immediately and no connection
can be made. The default value is "on".
Priority
This feature allows users to set the high/low priority of the packet
delivery for the Ethernet port. If it is set as High, the port has the
first priority to deliver the packet. The default value is “Normal”.
Speed
This feature allows users to select the network hardware
connection speed for the Ethernet port. The options are 10Mbps
and 100Mbps.
Duplex Status
This feature allows users to select the network hardware
connection speed working mode for the Ethernet. The options are
full duplex and half duplex.
Auto Neg.
The Auto-Negotiation mode can enable each port to automatically
adjust and gather the connection speed and duplex mode.
Therefore, if Enabled Auto-Neg. selected, the ports setup will be
done without any manual setting by administrators.
VLAN
This feature allows administrators to set the LAN port to be one or more disconnected network sessions. All of them will be able to log on to the Internet through the device.
Members in the same network session (within the same VLAN) can see and communicate with each other. Members in different VLAN will not know the existence of other members.
VLAN All
Set VLAN All port to be the public area of VLAN so that it can be
connected to other VLAN networks. A server should be constructed
for the intranet so that all VLAN group can visit this server. Set one
of the network ports as VLAN All. Connect the server to VLAN All so
that computers of different VLAN groups can be connected to this
server. Moreover, the port where the administrator locates must be
set as VLAN All so that it can be connected to the entire network to
facilitate network management.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
55
7.2 Port Status
Summary
There are Network Connection Type, Interface, Link Status (Up/Down), Port Activity (Port
Enabled), Priority Setting (High or Normal), Speed Status (10Mbps or 100Mbps), Duplex Status
(half duplex or full duplex), Auto Neg. (Enabled/Disabled), and VLAN.

7.3 IP/ DHCP
With an embedded DHCP server, it supports automatic IP assignation for LAN
computers. (This function is similar to the DHCP service in NT servers.) It benefits users by
freeing them from the inconvenience of recording and configuring IP addresses for each PC
respectively. When a computer is turned on, it will acquire an IP address from the device
automatically. This function is to make management easier.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
58
Dynamic IP
Client lease Time
Check the option to activate the DHCP server automatic IP lease
function. If the function is activated, all PCs will be able to acquire
IP automatically. Otherwise, users should configure static virtual
IP for each PC individually.
Range Start
This is to set up a lease time for the IP address which is acquired
by a PC. The default is 1440 minutes (a day). Users can change it
according to their needs. The time unit is minute.
Range End
This is an initial IP automatically leased by DHCP. It means DHCP
will start the lease from this IP. The default initial IP is
192.168.1.100.
DNS (Domain Name Service)
This is for checking the DNS from which an IP address has been leased to a PC port.
Input the IP address of this server directly.
DNS (Required) 1

7.5 IP & MAC Binding
Administrators can apply IP & MAC Binding function to make sure that users can not add extra
PCs for Internet access or change private IP addresses.
There are two methods for setting up this function
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
62
Block MAC address not on the list
This method only allows MAC addresses on the list to receive IP addresses from DHCP and have
Internet access. When this method is applied, please fill out Static IP with 0.0.0.0, as the figure below
IP & MAC Binding
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
63
Static IP
There are two ways to input static IP:
1. If users want to set up a MAC address to acquire IP
from DHCP, but the IP need not be a specific
assigned IP, input 0.0.0.0 in the boxes. The boxes
cannot be left empty.
2. If users want DHCP to assign a static IP for a PC
every single time, users should input the IP
address users want to assign to this computer in
the boxes. The server or PC which is to be bound
will then acquire a static virtual IP whenever it
restarts.
MAC Address
Input the static real MAC (the address on the network
card) for the server or PC which is to be bound.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
64
Name
For distinguishing clients, input the name or address of
the client that is to be bound. The maximum acceptable

This function can reduce administrator’s effort on checking MAC addresses one by one for the
binding. Furthermore, it is easy to make mistakes to fill out MAC addresses on the list
manually. By checking this list, administrator can see all MAC addresses which have traffic and
are not bound yet. Also, if administrators find that one specific bound MAC address is shown on
the list, it means that the user changes the private IP address.

7.6 IP Grouping
The function enables users to make the same configuration for a range of continuous IP
addresses in the network. For example, if an IP range (192.168.1.100~192.168.1.110) has been
assigned to a department of a company, we can bind all the IP addresses together and make an
accessing rule configuration for them all at the same time, instead of configuring each IP
respectively, which takes more time and is more prone to error.

VIII. QoS (Quality of Service)
QoS is an abbreviation for Quality of Service. The main function is to restrict bandwidth
usage for some services and IP addresses to save bandwidth or provide priority to specific
applications or services, and also to enable other users to share bandwidth, as well as to
ensure stable and reliable network transmission. To maximize the bandwidth efficiency,
network administrators should take account of the practical requirements of a company, a
community, a building, or a café, etc., and modify bandwidth management according to the
network environment, application processes or services.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
67
8.1 Bandwidth Management
8.1.1 The Maximum Bandwidth provided by ISP
In the boxes for WAN1 and WAN2 bandwidth, input the upstream and downstream
bandwidth which users applied for from bandwidth supplier. The bandwidth QoS will make
calculations according to the data users input. In other words, it will guarantee a minimum
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
68
rate of upstream and downstream for each IP and Service Port based on the total actual
bandwidth of WAN1 and WAN2. For example, if the upstream bandwidths of both WAN1 and
WAN2 are 512Kbit/Sec, the total upstream bandwidth will be: WAN1 + WAN2 =
1024Kbit/Sec. Therefore, if there are 50 IP addresses in the Intranet, the minimum
guaranteed upstream bandwidth for each IP would be 1024Kbit/50=20Kbit/Sec. Thus,
20Kbit/Sec can be input for “Mini. Rate” Downstream bandwidth can be calculated in the
same way.
Attention
The unit of calculation in this example is Kbit. Some software indicates the
downstream/upstream speed with the unit KB. 1KB = 8Kbit.
8.1.2 QoS
To satisfy the bandwidth requirements of certain users, the device enables users to set up
QoS: Rate Control and Priority Control. Users can select only one of the above QoS choices.
Rate Control
The network administrator can set up bandwidth or usage limitations for each IP or IP range
according to the actual bandwidth. The network administrator can also set bandwidth
control for certain Service Ports. A guarantee bandwidth control for external connections
can also be configured if there is an internal server.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
69
Interface
Select on which WAN the QoS rule should be executed. It can be a
single selection or multiple selections.
Service Port
Select what bandwidth control is to be configured in the QoS rule. If
the bandwidth for all services of each IP is to be controlled, select “All
(TCP&UDP) 1~65535”. If only FTP uploads or downloads need to be
controlled, select “FTP Port 21~21”. Refer to the Default Service Port
Number List.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
70
IP Address
This is to select which user is to be controlled. If only a single IP is to
be restricted, input this IP address, such as “192.168.1.100 to 100”.
The rule will control only the IP 192.168.1.100. If an IP range is to be
controlled, input the range, such as “192.168.1.100 ~ 150”. The rule
will control IP addresses from 192.168.1.100 to 150. If all Intranet
users that connect with the device are to be controlled, input “0” in
the boxes of IP address. This means all Intranet IP addresses will be
restricted. QoS can also control the range of Class B.
Direction
Upstream: Means the upload bandwidth for Intranet IP.
Downstream: Means the download bandwidth for Intranet IP.
Server in LAN, Upstream: If a Server for external connection has
been built in the device, this option is to control the bandwidth for the
traffic coming from outside to this Server.
Server in LAN, Downstream: If there are web sites built in the
Intranet, this option is to control the upload bandwidth for the
connections from outside to this Server. For example, game servers
have been built in many Internet cafés. This rule can be used to
control the bandwidth for connections from outside to the game
server of a café to update data. In this way, game players inside the
café will not be affected.
Min. & Max. Rate
(Kbit/Sec)
The minimum bandwidth: The rule is to guarantee minimum
available bandwidth.
The maximum bandwidth: This rule is to restrict maximum available
bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth will not exceed the limit set up
under this rule.
Attention! The unit of calculation used in this rule is Kbit. Some
software indicates download/upload speed by the unit KB. 1KB =
8Kbit.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
71
Bandwidth Assign Type
Sharing total bandwidth with all IP addresses: If this option is
selected, all IP addresses or Service Ports will share the bandwidth
range (from minimum to maximum bandwidth).
Assign bandwidth for each IP address: If this option is selected, every
IP or Service Port in this range can have this bandwidth (minimum to
maximum). For example, If the rule is set for the IP of each PC, the IP
of each PC will have the same bandwidth.
Attention: If “Share-Bandwidth” is selected, be aware of the actual
usage conditions and avoid an improper configuration that might
cause a malfunction of the network when the bandwidth is too small.
For example, if users do not want an FTP to occupy too much
bandwidth, users can select the “Share-Bandwidth Mode”, so that no
matter how much users use FTPs to download information, the total
occupied bandwidth is fixed.
Enable
Activate the rule.
Add to list
Add this rule to the list.
Move up & Move
down
QoS rules will be executed from the bottom of the list to the top of the
list. In other words, the lower down the list, the higher the priority of
execution. Users can arrange the sequence according to their
priorities. Usually the service ports which need to be restricted, such
as BT, e-mule, etc., will be moved to the bottom of the list. The rules
for certain IP addresses would then be moved upward.

Priority Control
The Router will distribute the bandwidth as 60% (the highest) and 10% (the lowest). If
you set the service port 80 as “High” priority, the router will give 60% bandwidth to the port
80. In the other hand, if you give the port 21 as “Low” priority, the device will only give it
10% bandwidth. The remained 30% bandwidth will be shared by the other service.

8.2 Session control
Session management controls the acceptable maximum simultaneous sessions of
Intranet PCs. This function is very useful for managing connection quantity when P2P
software such as BT, Thunder, or emule is used in the Intranet causing large numbers of
sessions. Setting up proper limitations on sessions can effectively control the sessions
created by P2P software. It will also have a limiting effect on bandwidth usage.
In addition, if any Intranet PC is attacked by a virus like Worm.Blaster and sends a huge
number of session requests, session control will restrict that as well.
Session Control and Scheduling
Disabled
Disable Session Control function.
Single IP cannot
exceed __ session
This option enables the restriction of maximum external sessions
to each Intranet PC. When the number of external sessions
reaches the limit, to allow new sessions to be built, some of the
existing sessions must be closed. For example, when BT or P2P is
being used to download information and the sessions exceed the
limit, the user will be unable to connect with other services until
either BT or P2P is closed.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
75
When single IP exceed __
If this function is selected, when the user’s port session reach
the limit, this user will not be able to make a new session for five
minutes. Even if the previous session has been closed, new
sessions cannot be made until the setting time ends.
If this function is selected, when the user’s port connections
reach the limit, all the lines that this user is connected with will be
removed, and the user will not be able to connect with the
Internet for five minutes. New connections cannot be made until
the delay time ends.
Scheduling

IX. Firewall
This chapter introduces firewall general policy, access rule, and content filter settings to
ensure network security.
9.1 General Policy
The firewall is enabled by default. If the firewall is set as disabled, features such as SPI,
DoS, and outbound packet responses will be turned off automatically. Meanwhile, the remote
management feature will be activated. The network access rules and content filter will be
turned off.
Firewall
This feature allows users to turn on/off the firewall.
Enterprise Multi-WAN VPN QoS Router
80
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection)
This enables the packet automatic authentication detection
technology. The Firewall operates mainly at the network layer. By
executing the dynamic authentication for each connection, it will
also perform an alarming function for application procedure.
Meanwhile, the packet authentication firewall may decline the
connections which use non-standard communication protocol.
DoS (Denial of Service)
This averts DoS attacks such as SYN Flooding, Smurf, LAND, Ping
of Death, IP Spoofing and so on.
Block WAN request
If set as Enabled, then it will shut down outbound ICMP and
abnormal packet responses in connection. If users try to ping the
WAN IP from the external, this will not work because the default
value is set as activated in order to decline the outbound

Remote Management
To enter the device web- based UI by connecting to the remote
Internet, this feature must be activated. In the field of remote
browser IP, a valid external IP address (WAN IP) for the device
should be filled in and the modifiable default control port should
be adjusted (the default is set to 80, modifiable).
Multicast Pass Through
There are many audio and visual streaming media on the
network. Broadcasting may allow the client end to receive this
type of packet message format. This feature is off by default.
Prevent ARP Virus Attack
This feature is designed to prevent the intranet from being
attacked by ARP spoofing, causing the connection failure of the
PC. This ARP virus cheat mostly occurs in Internet cafes. When
attacked, all the online computers disconnect immediately or
some computers fail to go online. Activating this feature may
prevent the attack by this type of virus.

Advanced Setting
Packet Type: This device provides three types of data packet transmission: TCP-SYN-Flood, UDP-Flood and ICMP-Flood.
WAN Threshold: When all packet values from external attack or from single external IP attack reach the maximum amount (the default is 15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes ( the default is 5 minutes OBJ 176 ). Users can adjust the threshold value and the blocking duration to effectively deal with external attack. The threshold value should be adjusted from high to low.
LAN Threshold: When all packet values from internal attack or from single internal IP attack reach the maximum amount (the default is 15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes (the default is 5 minutes). Users can adjust the threshold value and the blocking duration to effectively deal with external attack. The threshold value should be adjusted from high to low.

9.3 Access Rule
Users may turn on/off the setting to permit or forbid any packet to access internet. Users
may select to set different network access rules: from internal to external or from external to
internal. Users may set different packets for IP address and communication port numbers to
filter Internet access rules.
Network access rule follows IP address, destination IP address, and IP communications
protocol status to manage the network packet traffic and make sure whether their access is
allowed by the firewall.
The device has a user-friendly network access regulatory tool. Users may define network
access rules. They can select to enable/ disable the network so as to protect all internet
access. The following describes the internet access rules:
All traffic from the LAN to the WAN is allowed - by default. All traffic from the WAN to the LAN is denied - by default. All traffic from the LAN to the DMZ is allowed - by default. All traffic from the DMZ to the LAN is denied - by default. All traffic from the WAN to the DMZ is allowed - by default. All traffic from the DMZ to the WAN is allowed - by default.
Users may define access rules and do more than the default rules. However, the following
four extra service items are always on and are not affected by other user-defined settings.
* HTTP Service (from LAN to Device) is on by default (for management)
* DHCP Service (from LAN to Device) is set to on by default (for the automatic IP
retrieval)
* DNS Service (from LAN to Device) is on by default (for DNS service analysis)
* Ping Service (from LAN to Device) is on by default (for connection and test)

In addition to the default rules, all the network access rules will be displayed as illustrated
above. Users may follow or self- define the priority of each network access rule. The device will
follow the rule priorities one by one, so please make sure the priority for all the rules can suit the
setting rules.
