Port forwarding Rules

The section shows the currently defined game rules. A game rule can be changed by

clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit

icon, the item is highlighted, and the "

Edit Game Rule

" section is activated for

editing. After you’ve completed all modifications or deletions, you must click the

If you are finished with your configuration settings, click the

Reboot the Device

button.

3.3

Special Applications

The Special Application section is used to open single or multiple ports on your router

when the router senses data sent to the Internet on a ‘trigger’ port or port range.

Special Applications rules apply to all computers on your internal network.

Traffic Shaping

This section contains options for configuring the flow of traffic.

Page 28 of 92

Page 29 / 92

Enable Traffic Shaping:

When this option is enabled, the router restricts the flow

of outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN uplink bandwidth.

Automatic Uplink Speed:

Enable/ Disable the automatic determination of uplink

speed. When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the

useful uplink bandwidth each time the WAN interface is reestablished (after a reboot,

for example).

Measured Uplink Speed:

This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN

interface was last re-established. The value may be lower than that reported by your

ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol overheads associated with your

ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of the stated

uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network

connections.

Manual Uplink Speed:

Automatic Uplink Speed

is disabled, this options allows

you to set the

uplink speed

manually.

Uplink speed

is the speed at which data can be

transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often

specify speed as a downlink/ uplink pair; for example, 1.5Mbps/284kbps. For this

example, you would enter "284". Alternatively you can test your

uplink speed

with a

service such as

www.dslreports.com

. Note however that sites such as DSL

Reports, because they do not consider as many network protocol overheads, will

Page 29 of 92

Page 30 / 92

generally note speeds slightly lower than the

Measured Uplink Speed

or the ISP

rated speed.

Connection Type:

By default, the router automatically determines whether the

underlying connection is an

xDSL/Frame-relay network

or some other connection

type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as

Detected xDSL

or Frame Relay Network

. If you have an unusual network connection in which you

are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either "

Static

" or "

DHCP

in the

WAN

settings, setting this option to

xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network

ensures that the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently

in order to give the best performance. Choosing

xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network

causes the measured

uplink speed

to be reported slightly lower than before on such

connections, but gives much better results.

Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network:

When

Connection Type

is set to

Auto-

detect

, the automatically detected connection type is

displayed

here.

WAN Downlink:

If you want to restrict the downlink, you can do that here. Setting

the downlink higher than the downlink provided by your ISP will not have any effect.

WAN Port Speed:

Leave it in Auto mode, unless in special circumstances.

3.5

StreamEngine™

The StreamEngine™ option helps improve your network performance by prioritizing

applications. By default the StreamEngine™ settings are disabled and application

priority is not classified automatically. To enable this menu you must first enable

Traffic Shaping (previous chapter). StreamEngine™ is developed by Ubicom
