Port Forwarding Panel
Port Forwarding allows incoming traffic (from the Internet) to
be forwarded to a particular PC or device on your local
WLAN. Normally, incoming traffic from the Internet is blocked
by the Firewall.
You need to use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to
access running services such as a Web server, FTP server,
E-mail server, etc...
For some online applications (such as games), Port
Forwarding must be used in order for the game to function
correctly.
Note:
Port Forwarding creates a security risk and should be
disabled when not required.
Note:
Some 3G Mobile Wireless Networks do not provide you
with an Internet IP address, but an IP address on their

includes the following information:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure
limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations: the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP)
and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed
by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF
energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the
rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection to the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum reported value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output of the device.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each
model wireless mobile device are performed in positions and
locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC. For body-worn operation, this device has been
tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used
with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions
the wireless mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. This device has a FCC ID number:
A3LSMV100T [Model Number: SM-V100T] and the specific
SAR levels for this device can be found at the following FCC

action. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single
arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or amount,
the relief allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall
be conducted according to the American Arbitration
Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to
consumer disputes. This arbitration provision is entered
pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State
of Texas, without reference to its choice of laws principles,
shall govern the interpretation of the EULA and all disputes
that are subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator
shall decide all issues of interpretation and application of this
arbitration provision and the EULA. For any arbitration in

and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less ("Small
Claim"), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your

part of any award, but may not grant Samsung its attorney
fees, expert witness fees or costs unless it is determined that

AAA rules. In a Large Claim case, the arbitrator may grant to
the prevailing party, or apportion among the parties,
reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs.
