I. Introduction
IPSec 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 medium enterprises, internet cafés, campus, dorm and communities, etc.
VPN Router has 2 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 2 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet (RJ45) ports and provide the features of Microsoft UPnP, 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 64-bit
hardware acceleration, high-speed, high-efficiency 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, AES128, AES192, AES256 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.
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, it 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
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
7
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
When you have multiple WAN gateways, you can use Traffic Management and Protocol Binding function to fulfill WAN road balancing, so that we can have highest network bandwidth efficiency.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
38
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.
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
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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
39
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.
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.
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.
Specify WAN Binding 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.
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.

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:
To remove selected WANs from the WAN grouping.
Apply:
Click “Apply” to save the modification.
Cancel:
Click “Cancel” to cancel the modification. This only works before “Apply” is clicked.
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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
41
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.
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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
42
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 Service Detection 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.

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 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
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
44
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.) 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). Therefore, in this mode, we recommend assigning one of the connections to the first WAN. When other
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
45
WANs (WAN2) 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.
6.2.3 Protocol Binding
Interface Configuration
Router allows maximum two WAN interface, the bandwidth and real connection of every WAN will impact the load balance mechanism; therefore you need to set the Bandwidth and the Network service detection by each WAN Port correctly.
In WAN Setting”, click “Edit” to enter the WAN port configuration.
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.

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) 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.

to be designated, while specific IP designation is not necessary, input “0” in
the IP boxes.
Dest. 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 restricted to a specific WAN. If only specific Service Ports need to be designated, while a specific IP destination assignment is not required, input “0” into the IP boxes.

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 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

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 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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr

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 Port [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” 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). In the boxes for “Destination IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254”. 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 second rule: Select “All Port [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” 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). In the boxes of “Destination IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 60,254,254,254”. 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 has been set up, all traffic that is not going to the assigned destinations will only be transmitted through WAN1.

USB port Auto Self Test feature. No matter what sate the system is on, USB port will automatically dial the 3G/3.5G connection to get IP address at Auto Self Test time. The test result will be logged in system logs. After the test is done, USB port will be switched back to the original state setting.
Click the box the make all the setting changes are logged.
We also need to be familiar with other UI setting before using Intelligent Power Saving.
Note:
1. 3G feature is disabled by default. Please go to USB Setting UI to enable 3G feature by choosing any mode.
2. When the system is on Power Saving State, the system will be switched to Active State automatically during daily Auto Self Test. The state switch will be logge, and the system will be back to Power Saving State after the daily Auto Self Test is done.
3. The state switch will be logged in system lo, following user settings.
4. When WAN are disconnected, USB 3G must be switched to Active State for backup connection.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr

6.3.1 Performance Mode (Always Connected)
This mode allows 3G/3.5G USB dongle to keep at the connected status. The power consumption is huge
under this mode. System will keep detecting if 3G/3.5G USB dongle is connected; In this mode, the trigger condition is disable.
6.3.2 Backup Mode
3G/3.5G USB dongles wil be in power saving state, which the system will provide low power for USB
interface. The system will keep detecting the wired network status and traffic. If the wired network is
disconnected, 3G/3.5G USB dongle will provide the network connection at any time. When the wired
network is back, 3G/3.5G USB dongles will return to power saving state.
When the WAN connection is detected failed, the traffic will transfer to USB:
A. Trigger Condition:
When ALL the chosen wired connections are detected failed
You have to choose at least one WAN port; When there are multiple WAN ports chosen, the system will
transfer the traffic to 3G/3.5G dongle when all the chosenwired connections are detected failed.
B. Return condition:
When ALL the chosen wired connections are detected back, the system will return 3G/3.5G USB dongles to
power saving state.
* Take the figure above, which user clicks both WAN 1 and WAN 2, as example: When the system detects
both WAN 1 and WAN2 are disconnected, 3G/3.5G USB dongles will be the backup for the wired network.
When WAN1 and WAN2 both return to connected, 3G/3.5G dongles will return to power saving state as
well.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
59
6.3.3 Smart Mode
The system will keep detecting the wired network bandwidth usage. When the wired network is
disconnected, or the bandwith usage is over the pre-defined threshold, the system will wake 3G/3.5G USB
dongles up for backuping wired network or sharing traffic.
When clicking Smart Mode, you can see there is an Idle time setting.
If you set the idle time, the system will provide power for USB port based on the time you set befor
3G/3.5G USB dongles enter power saving state. Adding the USB port idle time helps you have time for
dialing 3G/3.5G USB dongles.
*Take the figure above as example. If the idle time is 10 minutes, the system will provide power for USB
prots for 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, if there is an trigger condition occurred, 3G/3.5G USB
dongles will start to connect, providing the immediate network backup or sharing.
If no trigger condtion occurs, there will be no power for 3G/3.5G USB dongles to save electricity.
A. Trigger Condition:
Trigger condition 1: all the chosen wired networks are detected failed
Trigger condtion 2: the bandwidth of the chosen wired network is over the pre-defined threshold
Either the condtion above is triggered, 3G/3.5G USB dongles will be the backup for network, or share
the bandwidth.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr

1_All the chosen wired connections are detected failed
Sams as back up mode, you have to choose at least one WAN port. If there are are multiple WAN ports
chosen, the system will transfer traffic to 3G/3.5G USB dongles when all the chosen wired connections are
detected failed.
2_Bandwidth of the chosen wired network is over the pre-defined threshold
After you decide which WAN ports needs 3G/3.5G dongle backup, the system will enable the bandwidth
threshold configuration as the red column shows.
You can decide 3G/3.5G USB dongle backup when WAN port is disconnected as well as 3G/3.5G dongle load
balance.
Must click the box first to enable the bandwidth threshold configuration.
(1)Set Threshold to start load balance:
The following figure uses 10000Kbits as threshold, which means that if the system detects the bandwidth
of WAN1 is over 10000 Kbits, 3G/3.5G USB dongle will start the load balance.
(2)Set Threshold to stop load balance:
Observing the daily bandwith usage, you can find that bandwidth usage is dynamic. If you already set
bandwidth thresholds for load balance, we recommend that you could set the limit for bandwidth
threshold to lower the USB port sensibility and avoide high frequency of enabling or disabling 3G/3.5G USB.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
61
During 3G/3.5G load balance, the system will keep detecting the WAN port status. If the badwidth is _%
of the threshold to start load balance, 3G/3.5 USB dongle could return to power saving state.
For example, if we enter 10% on the following figure, when WAN 1 bandwidth is less than 9000Kbit
(10000Kbits X 10%), 3G/3.5G will return to power saving state.
B. Return condition:
When the trigger conditions no longer exist, 3G/3.5G USB dongle will return to power saving state.
Example 1: 3G/3.5G USB dongle is for WAN port backup only.
When both WAN1 and WAN2 return to connection, 3G/3.5G USB dongle will return to power saving state.
Example 2: 3G/3.5G USB dongle is for WAN port backup, and there are pre-defined threshold to start load
balance.
When WAN1 and WAN2 are conntected normally, and WAN1 bandwidth is less than 9000Kbit (10000Kbits
X 10%), 3G/3.5G will return to power saving state.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr

6.3.4 Scheduling Mode
Scheduling mode is a helpful tool to plan the bandwidth usage. For example, private enterprise could use
3G/3.5G to expand bandwidth and balance the traffic along with XDSL wired network.
After clicking Scheduling Mode, you can see the Show Table button. You can schedule the USB port usage
time on the time table, which is shown in hour.
The figure above is an example of USB Port 1 schedule for one private enterprise. Administrator would like
to incread broadband width by adding 3G/3.5G during work time. As you can see, is
clicked from 7:00~17:59, Monday to Friday, while is enabled during other time.
In , the system will keep detecting your wired broadband width. If there is any failure
detected (disconnection), the 3G/3.5G USB dongles will backup the connection to secure the network
vulnerability.

7.2 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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
65
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 (Required) 1
Input the IP address of the DNS server.
DNS (Optional) 2
Input the IP address of the DNS server.
WINS Server
Input the IP address of WINS.
Apply
Click “Apply” to save the network configuration modification.
Cancel
Click “Cancel" to leave without making any changes.
Dynamic IP
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.
WINS
If there is a WIN server in the network, users can input the IP address of that server directly.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
66
DHCP Server
This is the current DHCP IP.
Dynamic IP Used
The amount of dynamic IP leased by DHCP.
Static IP Used
The amount of static IP assigned by DHCP.
DHCP Available
The amount of IP still available in the DHCP server.
Total
The total IP which the DHCP server is configured to lease.
Host Name
The name of the current computer.
7.3 DHCP Status
This is an indication list of the current status and setup record of the DHCP server. The indications are for
the administrator’s reference when a network modification is needed.

Enter the corresponding IP address of the host domain above.
Add to Llist
Add the items into the list below.
Delete selected item
Delete the items chosen.
DNS Local Database
Normally, DNS sever will be directed to ISP DNS server or internal self- defined DNS server. Qno router also provides “easy” self- defined DNS services, called “DNS Local Database”, which can map website host domain names and the corresponding IP addresses.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
68
Note!
(1) Users MUST enable DCHP server service to enable DNS local database. (2) Users must set DHCP server DNS IP address as the router LAN IP. For example, LAN is 10.10.10.1, as shown in the following figure.
Therefore, DCHP DNS IP address must be 10.10.10.1 to make DNS local database in effect.
(3) After enabling DNS local database, if there is no host domain names in the list, the router will still use ISP
DNS server or internal DNS server for lookup.
Test if DNS local database is effective:
Assumed tw.yahoo.com IP address is 10.10.10.199, as the following figure.
(1) System Tool => Diagnostic => DNS Name Lookup
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr

7.4 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.
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
71
There are two methods for setting up this function
(1)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
VVPPNN QQooSS WWiirreelleessss RRoouutteerr
72
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.
(2)IP & MAC Binding

Close
Close the list.
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address When this option is activated, MAC addresses
which are not included in the list will not be able to connect with the Internet.
Show New IP user
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.

PMK Cache Period
When a wireless client moves from one APs coverage area to another, it performs an
authentication procedure (exchanging security information) with the new AP. Instead of
re-authenticating a client each time it returns to the APs coverage area, which can
cause delays to time-sensitive applications, the AP and the client can store (or
cache) and use information about their previous authentication.
Pre-Authentication
Pre-authentication allows a wireless client to perform authentication with a different AP
from the one to which it is currently connected, before moving into the new APs
coverage area. This speeds up roaming.

IX. 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.

88
9.1.1 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 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.
9.1.2 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.

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.

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 ~ 149”. The rule will control IP addresses from
192.168.1.100 to 149. 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 C.
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.

Bandwidth sharing
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.

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.

Example 1. How to set up the maximum download speed to 50 Kbit for the FTP protocol on all WAN interfaces ?
Please refer to the following as a setup example. Click before both WAN1 and WAN2; then choose "FTP
[TCP/21~21]" in Service; for IP Address, put your LAN IP range (e.g.192.168.1.1~254); in "Direction" part, open the dropdown box and choose Downstream. Import 2Kbit/Sec in Mini. Rate, which guarantees the minimum bandwidth for FTP downloading. And import 50Kbit/Sec in Max. Rate for a maximum limitation. Choose “Share total bandwidth with all IP addresses” in “Bandwidth sharing” method, which means that the whole LAN users share a maximum 50Kbits/Sec download speed on the FTP protocol no matter how many users are using in intranet. Click “Enable” and “Add to list”, then this rule is successfully added.

Example 2. How to set up the maximum download speed of each WAN to 512Kbit/Sec for each LAN user? One by one IP to set up?
No need to set up one by one. Below is the example. Click both WAN1 and WAN2; then choose “No
Check Port[TCP&UDP /0~0” in Service; for IP Address, put your LAN IP range (e.g.192.168.1.1~254); in "Direction" part, open the dropdown box and choose Downstream. Import 2Kbit/Sec in Mini. Rate, which guarantees the minimum bandwidth. And import 512Kbit/Sec in Max. Rate for a maximum limitation. Choose “Assign bandwidth for each IP address” in “Bandwidth sharing” method, which ensures each IP a minimum 2Kbits/Sec download speed . Click “Enable” and “Add to list”, then this rule is successfully added.
Attention! The action rule priority of the QoS bandwidth management is from the bottom to the top rule,
therefore you have to remove the rule what you want to implement first to the bottom.

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.
9.2 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.

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.
