Make sure you enter the MAC address correctly. The Telephony Mo-

dem may completely block access if you enter an incorrect address.

Proceed to

Configuring the DMZ

.

Finding the MAC Address of a computer

Locate the operating system of the computer that you

want to add to the list and follow the instructions to find

its wireless MAC address.

Windows

: open a Command Prompt window and type

ipconfig /all

(and press Return). Locate the line that

begins with “Description” and contains the word “Wire-

less.” The next line, which starts with “Physical Address,”

contains a string of six hex numbers, separated by

dashes. This is the MAC address.

MacOS X

: open a Terminal window and type

ifconfig

(and press Return). Find the line that begins with “en1”

— this is the wireless adapter. The next line that begins

with “ether” contains the MAC address of the wireless

interface.

Linux

: open a shell window and type

ifconfig

(and press

Return). The wireless interface is eth1 (unless there is no

Ethernet adapter, in which case the interface is eth0).

Configuring the DMZ

Certain Internet applications, such as gaming or video conferencing, may not work

properly with computers behind a firewall. For these situations, the Telephony Mo-

dem supports a “DMZ” feature that lets you place a single PC outside the firewall.

Note:

A computer placed in the DMZ is not protected from attackers. Enable

the DMZ only when necessary and make sure the computer in the DMZ

has the latest security updates installed.

Follow these steps to place a computer in the DMZ.

1

Click the Firewall link in the navigation menu, then click DMZ.

The DMZ window appears.

2

Enter the IP address of the computer that you want to place in the DMZ in

the

Private IP

field.

3

Check the

Enable

box.

4

Click the

Save

button to save your changes.

The DMZ light on the Telephony Modem front panel lights up to remind you

that your computer is operating without firewall protection.

5

When you are finished using the DMZ, return to this screen, remove the

check from the Enable box, and click the

Save

button.

The DMZ light on the Telephony Modem front panel turns off.

6

Proceed to

Configuring DDNS

Configuring DDNS

The public IP addresses assigned to your Telephony Modem can change from time

to time. If you are providing services from your private network (using the Virtual

Servers feature), you should use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to associate your current

IP address with a domain name. The Telephony Modem directly supports several

major DDNS providers.

After setting up a DDNS account, follow these steps to configure the Telephony Mo-

dem to contact the DDNS provider.

1

Click the Firewall link in the navigation menu, then click DDNS.

The DDNS window appears.

2

Choose your DDNS provider from the

DDNS Service

drop-down menu.

3

Enter your DDNS account name, password, and DDNS domain name in the

appropriate fields.

4

Click the

Update DDNS

button.

Note:

Your domain name may not be immediately associated with your cur-

rent IP address. Updated DNS information takes some time to propagate

across the Internet.
