4 Advanced Applications
This section includes the following:
To remotely access the device via a domain name or access a server on a
LAN PC, see 4.1 DDNS Settings.
To let an Internet user access your LAN PC without any restriction, see
4.2 DMZ Host.
To automatically map the ports between WAN and LAN, see 4.3 UPNP.
To enable the remote Web management feature, see 4.4 Remote Web
Management.
To regulate bandwidth, see 4.5 Bandwidth Control (Available only in
4G600).
To restrict your LAN PCs to access certain services on the Internet via
their IP addresses, see 4.6 Client Filter (Available only in 4G600).
4.1 DDNS Settings
Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet
Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP address
allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to the Internet; the
address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one session on the
Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to
remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection
impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static host name to the user;
whenever the user is allocated a new IP address this is communicated to the
DDNS provider by software running on a computer or network device at that
address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and
the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries.
Thus, uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address
may change is maintained.
Click Advanced -> DDNS Settings to enter the screen below.
48
III Features & Configurations | Tenda
Tip
To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the DDNS
Service Providers in the drop-down list first.
DDNS Application Example:
If your ISP gives you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to
access your router remotely (see 4.4 Remote Web Management) but you
cannot predict what your router's WAN IP address will be, and the address can
change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service.
It lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed
at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
If your DDNS service provider provides you with a DDNS account (User Name:
tenda, Password: 123456, Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org) and you want to
use the PC at the IP address of 218.88.93.33 to remotely access this device on
the port number of 8090. Then follow the steps below:
① DDNS Settings: Check the Enable DDNS box.
② DDNS Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the
drop-down list. Here in this example, select dyndns.org.
③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name you have registered with your
49
III Features & Configurations | Tenda
DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.
④ Password: Enter the DDNS Password you have registered with your DDNS
service provider. Here in this example, enter 123456.
⑤ Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name you have registered with your
DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org.
⑥ Click Save to save your settings.
⑦ Click Remote Web Management, enable the Remote Web Management
feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.88.93.33 in the IP Address field and
then click Save to save your settings.
Now, you can access your device from the Internet by typing your device’s
domain name into your browser ’s a d dr e ss o r lo c a t i o n f ield on yo ur PC
50

(218.88.93.33) followed by a colon (:) and the remote management port number.
Here in this example, enter http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090.
4.2 DMZ Host
The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for
one device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video
conferencing applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address
Translation).
Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the screen below.
Note
① DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configured as the DMZ host
loses much of the protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to
attacks from external networks.
② Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on your
network.
Configuration Procedures:
① DMZ Host IP: The IP address of the d e v i c e f or which the router ’s firewall
51
III Features & Configurations | Tenda
will be disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP address of the device that
serves as a DMZ host for this function to be consistent.
② Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host functionality.
③ Click Save to save your settings.
Tip
Security softwares such as anti-virus softwares and OS built-in firewall, etc.
may affect the DMZ host feature. Disable them if the DMZ host fails.
4.3 UPNP
The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows network devices, such as
computers from the Internet, to access resources on local host or devices as
needed. UPnP-enabled devices can be discovered automatically by the UPnP
service application on the LAN. If you use applications such as multiplayer
gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant
messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you may need to
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for better experience.
Click Advanced -> UPnP to enter the configuration screen. The UPnP feature is
enabled by default.

4.4 Remote Web Management
The Remote Web Management allows the device to be configured and managed
remotely from the Internet via a Web browser.
Click Advanced -> Remote Web Management to enter the configuration
screen.
Tip
① For better security, configure a port number (between 1025 and 65535) as
the remote Web management interface, do not use the number of any
common service port (1~1024).
② Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP address.
Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet.
③ It is unsafe to make your router remotely accessible to all PCs on external
network. For the purpose of security, we suggest that you only enter the IP
address of the PC that is to be used to remotely manage your device.
Remote Web Management Application Example:
To access your device (WAN IP address: 102.33.66.88) at your home from the
53
III Features & Configurations | Tenda
PC (218.88.93.33) at your office via the port number of 8090, follow the steps
below:
① Enable: Check to enable the remote Web management feature.
② Port: Enter 8090.
③ IP Address: Specify the IP address for remote management. Here in this
example, enter 218.88.93.33.
④ Click Save to save your settings.
Type "ht tp:/ /102.33.66.88:8090" in t o your br ows e r ’s ad dr e s s or locat i o n field
and you can remotely access the router from your home.
Knowledge Center
IP Address: Here you can specify the IP address for remote management (If set
to "0.0.0.0", the device becomes remotely accessible to all the PCs on the
Internet or other external networks).
Port: This is the management port to be open to outside access. The default
setting is 8080. This can be changed.
4.5 Bandwidth Control (Available only in 4G600)
If there are multiple PCs behind your device competing for limited bandwidth
resource, then you can use this feature to specify a reasonable amount of
54
III Features & Configurations | Tenda
bandwidth for each such PC, so that no one will be over stuffed or starved to
death. Note that this feature is unavailable in 3G/4G Router Mode.
Bandwidth Control Application Example:
You share a 4M-broadband service with your neighbor (at the IP address of
192.168.0.125). He always downloads a large volume of data from the Internet,
which sharply frustrates your Internet surfing experience; you can use this
feature to set limits for the volume of Internet traffic he can get. For example,
you can equally split the bandwidth, so your neighbor can only use up to 2M
Internet traffic and you can smoothly enjoy 2M.
Configuration Procedures:
① Bandwidth Control: Check the Enable box to enable the feature.
② IP Address: Enter the last number of the IP address. Here in this example,
enter 125 in both boxes.
③ Upload Limit: Set a limit to regulate the uplink bandwidth of PC(s) on the
LAN. Here in this example, enter 32 in both boxes.
④ Download Limit: Set a limit to regulate the downlink bandwidth of PC(s)
on the LAN. Here in this example, enter 256 in both boxes.
⑤ Enable: Check to enable the current rule.
⑥ Add to List: Click to add the current rule to the rule list.
⑦ Click Save to save your settings.
