Priority:
The priority given to each policy/application. Its default setting is set to Normal. You may
adjust this setting to fit your policy / application.
Internal IP Address:
The private IP in the LAN
network.
External IP Address:
The IP address on the Internet.
Internal Port:
The Port number on the LAN side.
External Port:
The Port number on the Remote/WAN side.
Time Schedule:
A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your QoS policy.
For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
Note: Make sure that the router(s) in the network backbone are capable to execute and check
the DSCP throughout the QoS network.
Example 1: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS
If you are actively engaged in using P2P and are afraid of slowing down internet access throughput
of other users within your network, you can thus use QoS function to set different priorities for the
different applications that members of your network will be using to avoid bandwidth traffic from
getting overloaded.
Therefore, in order to assign the priority status of each application, we must first create a new QoS
rule for each application.
The figures below show the different settings for assigning a High Priority status to Web Browsing,
assigning limited rate for Email send & receive.

QoS Rules created
Example 2: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS
If you are only using a specific PC for the P2P application, you can create a rule that has a low
priority. In this way, P2P application will not congest the data transmission rate when there are other
applications present.

Virtual Server
Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External
port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only
if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN
side.
In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program
(usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that
are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are
referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can
locate them.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other
machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept
incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and
P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you need to
configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC
on your network running the application. You also need to use port forwarding if you wish to host an
online game server.

Port Mapping
Application:
Select the service you wish to configure.
Protocol:
A protocol is automatically applied when an Application is selected from the listbox or you
may select a protocol type which you want. But when
RAW
is selected, you must set the protocol
number to identify the protocol that the application utilzie.
Protocol Number:
when RAW is selected in Protocol field, then type the specific protocol number
(1~254) here.
External Port & Internal Port:
Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure.
Internal IP Address:
Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the
specified port is forwarded.
Add:
Click to add a new virtual server rule. Click again and the next figure appears.
Edit:
Check the Edit radio button to display the parameter of the selected application, then after
changing the parameters click the Edit/Delete button to apply the changes.
Delete:
To remove a port mapping application, check the Remove box of the selected application
then click the Edit/Delete button.
Time Schedule:
A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your port mapping.
For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from accessed
by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to y
our router unless you specifically
create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router
needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server
or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific
port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP
(port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request the router for a specified port is
received, it is forwarded to the corresponding internal server.
For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2,
then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server (PC) with the
IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it
manually.
