filters prevent designated IP addresses from accessing
the Internet
MAC Address Filtering
Use this link to configure MAC address filters. These
filters prevent designated MAC addresses from
accessing the Internet
Port Filtering
Use this link to configure transmission control protocol
(TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) port filters.
These filters prevent a range of TCP/UDP ports from
accessing the Internet
Port Forwarding
Use this link to configure port forwarding for local IP

on the local area network (LAN) by specifying the
mapping of TCP/UDP ports to local PCs or to the IP
address of other devices. This is a static setting that
holds the ports open at all times

Description
Port Triggers
Use this link to configure TCP/UDP port triggers. Port
triggering is similar to port forwarding, but is a
dynamic function. In other words, the ports are not
held open, and the ports close if no outgoing data is
detected on the selected ports for a period of 10
minutes
DMZ Host
(Demilitarized Zone)
Use this link to configure an IP address that is visible
to the wide area network (WAN). DMZ hosting is
commonly referred to as “exposed host,” and allows
you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic
that Network Address Translation (NAT) is unable to
translate to a known local PC
A DMZ is used by a company that wants to host its
own Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized
access to its private network. DMZ allows one IP
address to be unprotected while others remain
protected. The DMZ is located between the Internet
and an internal network's line of defense that is a
combination of firewalls and bastion hosts
Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to
Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP
servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers, and domain name
system (DNS) servers
VPN Termination
Use this link to create, configure, and control Virtual
Private Network (VPN) protocols and manage Internet
Protocol Security (IPsec) VPN tunnels.

Configuring Your Password Settings
Use the Basic Settings - Password Settings page to set up a password to restrict
unauthorized persons from accessing to your residential gateway settings. Click

Your gateway modem comes from the factory with no password enabled. We
highly recommend that you set up a user password to prevent unauthorized
users from modifying the settings of your network.

remember. Do
not
forget your password.
