Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies on all
outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only.
You can select one of the two filtering policies:
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the following:
• Source IP address
• Source port address
• Destination IP address
• Destination port address
• Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
• Use Rule#
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP addresses
(4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.
Inbound Filter:
To enable Inbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter field.
Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server (80), FTP Server (21), and News Server
(119) defined in Virtual Server or DMZ Host.

MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP
address to a certain MAC address.
MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this
page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked.
Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless
clients can connect to this device. If a client is denied to connect to this device, it
means the client can't access to the Internet either. Choose "allow" or "deny" to
allow or deny the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in the "Control table"
(please see below), to connect to this device.
Control table
"Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control" page.
Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected IP address
mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table:
In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you to input the MAC address.
You can select a specific client in the “DHCP clients” Combobox, and then click on the “Copy to” button to copy
the MAC address of the client you select to the ID selected in the “ID” Combobox.
To make this setup page simple and clear, we have divided the “Control table” into several pages.
In this scenario, there are three clients listed in the Control Table. Clients 1 and 2 are wireless, and client 3 is
wired.
2."Connection control" is enabled, and all of the wired and wireless clients not listed in the "Control table" are
"allowed" to connect to this device.
3."Association control" is enabled, and all of the wireless clients not listed in the "Control table" are "denied" to
associate to the wireless LAN.
4.Clients 1 and 3 have fixed IP addresses either from the DHCP server of this device or manually assigned:
If, for example, client 3 tries to use an IP address different from the address listed in the Control
5.Clients 2 and 3 and other wired clients with a MAC address unspecified in the Control table are all allowed to
connect to this device. But client 1 is denied to connect to this device.
This page support two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog(UDP) and
SMTP(TCP). The items you have to setup including:
Check if you want to enable Email alert (send syslog via email).
SMTP Server IP and Port
Input the SMTP server IP and port, which are concated with ':'. If you do not specify port number, the default
value is 25.
For example, "mail.your_url.com" or "192.168.1.100:26".
Send E-mail alert to
The recipients who will receive these logs. You can assign more than 1 recipient, using ';' or ',' to separate these
email addresses.
To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS).
So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name
of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider.
Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that
we list in provider field.
To enable Dynamic DNS click the check box next to Enable in the DDNS field.
Next you can enter the appropriate information about your Dynamic DNS Server.
Provider
Host Name
Password/Key
You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server.

Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If
you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper
routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.
Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static.
Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You can enter the destination IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, hop for each routing rule, and then enable or disable the rule by checking or unchecking
the Enable checkbox.
So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to
determine that it had to go via 192.168.1.103 (a gateway),
And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.1.216
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
After routing table setting is configured, click the save button.
You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. Select the “enable” item.
