3.9.1 NAT Setting

Go to

Advanced Setup->NAT

to setup the NAT features. Network Address Translation (NAT) allows

multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single public IP address or multiple

public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local addresses to public

addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP.

3.9.2 Virtual Server

Go to

Advanced Setup ->NAT -> Virtual Server

to set virtual server as you need. (Known as Port

Mapping).

You can configure the router as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as the

Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers

configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP

port numbers), the router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at

another internal IP address). For some applications, you need to assign a set or a range of ports

(example 4000-5000) to a specified local machine to route the packets. The router allows the user to

configure the needed port mappings to suit such applications.

3.9.3 DMZ Setting

Go to

Advanced Setup ->NAT -> DMZ

to set DMZ parameters.

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT

firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a virtual DMZ

Host.

3.9.4 ASDL type Setting

Go to

Advanced Setup ->ADSL

to set different ADSL connection

If you meet a ADSL connection problem, you can select a different ADSL connection type to get more

fast connection.

3.10.1 Static Routing

Go to

Advance Setup -> Routing ->Add

to setup static route features.

The static routing function determines the path that router follows over your network before and after it

passes through your router. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the

Internet through this device.

3.10.2 Dynamic Routing

Go to

Interface Setup -> Internet

to select Dynamic Route as you need.

The dynamic routing feature of the router can be used to allow the router to automatically adjust to

physical changes in the network's layout. The router uses the dynamic RIP protocol. It determines the

route that the network packets take based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the

destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
