INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ADSL Modem with Built-In 802.11g Wireless Router

(the Router). In minutes, you will be able to share your Internet connection and

network your computers. The following is a list of features that make your new

Router an ideal solution for your home or small office network.

OVERVIEW

Key Features

Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point

802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that provides up to 54Mbps

(nearly five times faster than 802.11b) data rates.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The Wireless ADSL Modem Router supports a variety of networking environments

including Mac OS® 8.x, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, Me,

NT®, 2000, and XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a

network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).

Front-Panel LED Display

Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in

operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to the

Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-

monitoring procedures.

Web-Based User Interface

You can set up the Router’s functions easily through your web browser, without

having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no disks to

install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and perform setup

functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.

NAT IP Address Sharing

Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP

address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost

of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.

INTRODUCTION

SPI Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide

array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of

Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null

Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and

fragment flooding.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch

The Router has a built-in, four-port network switch to allow your wired

computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more.

The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of

connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the

Internet simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources.

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the

easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP

addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated

networking setup.

MAC Address Filtering

For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client

identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every network interface card

has its own unique MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list

using the web-based user interface and you can control access to your network.

Applications and Advantages

• Economically connect multiple computers to a single Internet connection

• SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networking needs

Provides the easy and quick small network installation SOHO users need

PLACEMENT OF YOUR ROUTER

Proper placement of your Router is important to ensure the best performance of

your wireless network. Typically, indoors your Wireless Router can provide a

circular coverage area of 250 feet or more. However, different types of

construction materials and other obstructions in a building can greatly affect the

wireless signal and decrease the range. Whenever possible, your Router should be

placed as close as possible to the center of the area that you want to cover. In

multi-story homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the center of

the home as possible; this may mean placing the Router on an upper floor.

Use care when choosing the location of your Router.

• Be aware of appliances or large objects such as a refrigerator or washer/dryer

unit that may be on the opposite side of a wall from where you decide to

place your Router.

• Place the Router on top of a desk and away from metal cabinets and

computer cases.

• Do not place objects or components on top of the Router.

• Make sure that both antennas are pointing UP at all times.

• Metallic-based UV window tint can affect wireless performance. Do not place

the Router next to a tinted window.

We realize that in the real world, it may not be possible to place your Router in

the center of your coverage area. In cases where you may experience difficulty

covering the entire area you want, try placing the Router as high as possible.

Wireless devices work best in a line-of-sight situation where there are no

obstacles between the wireless computer and the Router. The Router may also be

mounted to a wall with the antennas facing UP. There are other options for

expanding your wireless coverage area. Visit www. belkin.com/networking for

solutions.

The wireless signal can be affected by many things including neighboring wireless

networks, microwave ovens in operation, and 2.4GHz cordless phones. While

these things can affect the network performance, your wireless network typically

will work fine under most conditions where these devices exist.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

1. IP Address

The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP

address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the setup interface, type this IP address

into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed.

To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply

Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of

a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

2. Subnet Mask

There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced

feature of your Belkin Router.

3. DHCP Server

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning

IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default

setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary, however, in

order to do so you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on

your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply

Changes”.

4. IP Pool

The IP Pool is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to

the computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you

want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and

ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server can assign

100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP

address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means

you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The

starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.

5. Lease Time

Lease time is the length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address

for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to

“Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer

is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change

for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals, such as

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

one day or one hour, frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This

also means that a particular computer’s IP address may change over time. If

you have set any of the other advanced features of the Router, such as DMZ or

client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you

will not want the IP address to change.

6. Local Domain Name

The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name (network

name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless you

have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network anything

you want such as “MY NETWORK”.

DHCP Client List

You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to

your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the host

name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of

the computer’s network interface card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button

will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings

A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates

Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses. Many

ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. The “Automatic

from ISP” box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS

address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter

a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work

properly. If your connection type is dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not

have to enter a DNS address. Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To

enter the DNS address settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter

your DNS entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save the

settings.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the

country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country that

does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If there are

other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to

operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best

performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other

wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11,

then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the

channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.

Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier)

is used. The default SSID of the Router is “belkin54g”. You can change this to

anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless

networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is

unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To change

the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID field (1) and click

“Apply Changes” (2). The change is immediate. If you make a change to the

SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to

connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless

network adapter for information on making this change.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature

For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID.

Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning

for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID,

select “DISABLE” and then click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each

computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY”

will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network

adapter for information on making this change.

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch

Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “Mixed”, “11g Only”,

and “11b Only”. The different modes are explained next.

• Mixed - In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g

wireless clients simultaneously. This mode is the factory default and ensures

full compatibility with Wi-Fi-compatible devices. Set the Router to Mixed mode

if you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network. This is the

recommended setting for your router and should only be changed if you have

a specific reason to do so.

• 11g Only Mode - 11g Only mode is compatible with 802.11g clients only. This

mode can be useful only if you do not have any 802.11b clients that need

access to the network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the

drop-down box next to “Wireless Mode” then click “Apply Changes”.

• 11b Only Mode - It is not recommended you use this mode unless you have a

very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems

that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for

interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.

Note: Switching to 11b Only mode will decrease 802.11g performance

to 11Mbps.

g Nitro

Enabling “g Nitro” allows the Router to use Frame Bursting to get the maximum

throughput from the Router to 802.11g clients. g Nitro throughput is up to 50%

faster than any standard 802.11g equipment. g Nitro will work with 802.11g

clients that support g Nitro.

Encryption/Security

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called WPA (Wireless

Protected Access). It also supports the legacy security standard called WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable

security, you will need to determine which standard you want to use. To access

the Security settings, click “Security” on the Wireless tab.

Setting WPA Security

Note: To use WPA security, your clients must be upgraded to drivers and software

that support WPA. At the time this manual was published, a security patch from

Microsoft is available for free download. This patch works only with Windows XP.

You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802.11g Wireless

Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site. Other operating systems are

not supported at this time. Only Belkin 802.11g clients support WPA at this time.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

There are two types of WPA security, WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with server).

WPA-PSK uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the security key. A

pre-shared key is basically a password that is between 8 and 40 characters long.

It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the

same key to access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a

home environment.

WPA (with server) is a system where a radius server distributes the keys to the

clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.

Setting WPA-PSK (no server)

1. From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no server)”.

2. Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from 8 to 40 characters and can be

letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the clients

that you set up.

3. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match

these settings.

Setting WPA (with server) Settings

If your network uses a radius server to distribute keys to the clients, use this

setting.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

1. From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select “WPA (with server)”.

2. Enter the IP address of the radius server into the “Radius Server” fields.

3. Enter the radius key into the Radius Key field.

4. Enter the key interval. Key interval is how often the keys are distributed (in

packets).

5. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match these

settings.

Setting WEP Encryption

Note to Mac users: The Passphrase option will not operate with Apple® AirPort®.

To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using the

manual method described in the next section.

1. Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP key

manually by typing in the HEX WEP key manually, or you can type in a

Passphrase in the Passphrase field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key

from the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all of

your clients to match these settings.

3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless

network will now need to be configured with the same passphrase. Refer to

the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making

this change.

Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit

keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F

and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router

and your wireless computers.

UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only.

Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check

your product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure your

network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.

4. Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a

wide array of common hacker attacks including:

• IP Spoofing

• Land Attack

• Ping of Death (PoD)

• Denial of Service (DoS)

• IP with zero length

• Smurf Attack

• TCP Null Scan

• SYN flood

• UDP flooding

• Tear Drop Attack

• ICMP defect

• RIP defect

• Fragment flooding

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack

networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that essentially they do

not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed,

however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the

firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker

attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.

Application Gateways Settings

Application gateways let you select ports to be open for certain applications to

work properly with the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Router. A

list of popular applications has been included to choose from. Select your

application from the drop-down list from the bottom of the screen. If your

application is not here, you will need to check with the application vendor to

determine which ports need to be configured. You can manually input this port

information into the Router.

Choosing an Application

Virtual Servers

Virtual Servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a

web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications, through your

Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a

firewall, machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be

“seen”. If you need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific

application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which

port settings you need.

Entering Settings into the Virtual Server

To enter settings, enter the last digit of your LAN IP address in the space

provided for the internal machine, input the Protocol Type (TCP or UDP), and the

LAN Port & Public Port number required to pass, select “Enable” and click “Set”.

Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and

disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings

when you are not using a specific application.

Client IP Filters

The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other

network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single

computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.

5. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access

rule in the Client IP filters section. This activates the schedule for use in the

“Access Control” page.

MAC Address Filtering

The MAC Address Filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify

which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access

the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you

enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client on your

network to allow network access to each, or copy the MAC address by selecting

the name of the computer from the “DHCP Client List”. To enable this feature,

select “Enable”. Next, click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.

Setting or Changing the Administrator Password

The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for

greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and

keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in

the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the

remote management feature of your Router.

Changing the Login Time-Out Setting

The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be

logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there

has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced

setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.

Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the

more changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default

is set to 10 minutes.

Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface

at one time.

Setting the Time and Time Zone

The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global

Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log

and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. The system

clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to

contact the timeservers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the

clock yourself.

Enabling Remote Management

Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU

HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to

make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are

two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the

Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely

manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the

Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the

password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address only

to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use

this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router

from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage

the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that

you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially

open your Router to intrusion.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your

Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice

messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-

compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a

specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP

ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-

compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the

Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the

UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-

compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the

UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the

“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

GLOSSARY

IP address

The “IP address” is the Internal IP address of the Router. To access the advanced

setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This

address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP

address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a

non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255.)

10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255.)

Subnet Mask

Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts. These

networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable sections, called

subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus the information reserved

for identifying the “subnetwork”.

DNS

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server is a server

located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal Resource Links) like

www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this

information into the Router. If you are using a static IP connection type, then

you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your

connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is

likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.

PPPoE (Routing Mode, for multiple PCs)

Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use an ADSL

modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the

service.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1. Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to

the Internet

2. Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET, Enternet300 that you use to

connect to the Internet

“Apply” to activate your settings.

a. User name - Enter the ISP assigned user name. (Assigned by your ISP).

b. Password - Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).

c. Retype Password - Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP).

d. VPI/VCI - Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier

(VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).

Disconnect after X...

This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your ISP when

there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance, placing a check

mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute field will cause the

Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity.

This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute.

Channel and SSID

To change the channel of operation of the Router, select the desired channel from

the drop-down menu and select your channel. Click “Apply Changes” to save the

setting. You can also change the SSID. The SSID is the equivalent to the wireless

network's name. You can make the SSID anything you want to. If there are other

wireless networks in your area, you should give your wireless network a unique

name. Click inside of the SSID box and type in a new name. Click “Apply Changes”

to make the change.

GLOSSARY

ESSID Broadcast

Many wireless network adapters currently on the market possess a feature known

as site survey. It scans the air for any available network and allows each

computer to automatically select a network from the survey. This occurs if the

computer’s SSID is set to "ANY”. Your Belkin Router can block this random search

for a network. If you disable the "ESSID Broadcast" feature, the only way a

computer can join your network is by its SSID being set to the specific name of

the network (like WLAN). Be sure that you know your SSID (network name)

before enabling this feature. It is possible to make your wireless network nearly

invisible. By turning off the broadcast of the SSID, your network will not appear

in a site survey. Obviously, turning off the broadcast feature of the SSID helps

increase security.

Encryption

Setting encryption can help keep your network secure. The Router uses Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to protect your data and features two rates

of encryption: 64-bit and 128-bit. Encryption works on a system of keys. The key

on the computer must match the key on the Router, and there are two ways to

make a key. The easiest is to let the Router’s software convert a passphrase

you’ve created into a key. The advanced method is to enter the keys manually.

Application Gateways

Application Gateways let you specify specific ports to be open for specific

applications to work properly with the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature

of the Router. A list of popular applications has been included. You can select an

application from the popular choices included in the drop-down list. Your

selections will be programmed into the Router. From the drop-down list, select

the row that you want to copy the settings from, and the row you want to copy

to, and then click "Copy To". The settings will be transferred to the row you

specified. Click "Apply Changes" to save the setting for that application. If your

application is not here, you will need to check with the application vendor to

determine which ports need to be configured. You can manually input this port

information into the Router.

“seen”. If you need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific

application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which

port settings you need. To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the

space provided for the internal machine, the port type (TCP or UDP), and the LAN

& Public port(s) required to pass, select “Enable” and click “Set”. You can only

pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a

security risk. You can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended

that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application.

Client IP filters

The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail or other

network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single

computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.

URL Blocking

To configure the URL Blocking feature, specify the websites (www.somesite.com)

and or keywords you want to filter on your network. Click “Apply Changes” to

activate the change. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or

modify an access rule in the Client IP filters section. To modify an existing rule,

click the “Edit” option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule,

click on the “Add PC” option. From the “Access Control Add PC” section, check

the option for “WWW with URL Blocking” in the Client PC Service table to filter

out the websites and keywords specified.

Schedule Rule

To configure the Schedule Rule, specify the Name, Comment, Start Time, and End

Time that you want to filter on your network. This page defines schedule rule

names and activates the schedule for use in the “Access Control” page.

GLOSSARY

MAC Address Filtering

The MAC Address Filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify

which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access

the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you

enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client on your

network to allow network access to each or copy the MAC address by selecting

the name of the computer from the “DHCP Client List”. To enable this feature,

select “Enable”. Next, click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.

DMZ

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from

behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet

access. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an

application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on

a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker

attacks. To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its LAN IP address

in the Static IP field and click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect.

If you have only one Public (WAN) IP address, then you can leave the Public IP

to 0.0.0.0. If you are using multiple Public (WAN) IP addresses, it is possible to

select which Public (WAN) IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in

the Public (WAN) IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last

two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, and click “Apply Changes”.

Administrator Password

The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for

more security, you can set a password from your Router’s web-based user

interface. Keep your password in a safe place as you will need this password if

you need to log into the Router in the future. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature.

The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be

logged into the Router's advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there

has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced

setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.

GLOSSARY

Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the

more changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default

is set to 10 minutes. Note, only one computer can be logged into the Router’s

advanced setup interface at a time.

Time and Time Zone

The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global

Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log

and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside

in an area that observes daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box

next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately.

Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the timeservers on the

Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.

Remote Management

Before you enable this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE

ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes

to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet.

UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation of

voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-

compliant. Some applications require the Router's firewall to be configured in a

specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports

and in some instances setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-

compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the

Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the

UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-

compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the

UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the

Utilities page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
