7.1.4

Administration

Inactivity Time Out.

If the router does not detect any

administrative activity (from WAN or LAN) during this number of

minutes, it logs the administrator off.

Enable Bounce Pages.

Enabling this option allows users of

wireless devices attempting to connect to the MBR1200 to see

bounce pages that display error message pages. For example,

users would see a “phone or modem not connected” page, a

“require user login” page or other error pages.

NOTE: To avoid issues with some applications, you may have to

leave this check box unselected.

Enable HTTPS Server.

Enabling this option makes it possible to

perform management with the Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.

Enable Remote Management.

Enabling this allows you to manage the router from anywhere with an Internet connection. Disabling Remote

Admin Login allows you to manage the router only from computers on your LAN. Default: off.

Remote Admin Port.

The port that will be accessed from the Internet. This allows you to make modifications to ensure that there is no conflict

with other enterprise software. Default: Port 8080. For example, if you specify port 1080 here, then, to access the router from the Internet, you

would use a URL of the form:

.

Use HTTPS.

Setting this option requires all remote administration to use the Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol. For example, if you specify port

1080 above, then, to access the router from the Internet, you would use a URL of the form:

.

Remote Inbound Filter.

Select a filter that controls access as needed for this admin port. If you do not see the filter you need in the list of filters,

go to the

Advanced

→

Inbound Filter

sub-menu and create a new filter.

Details.

The text field description of the inbound filter you want to select. When you populate a new inbound filter rule, you attribute to it a

descriptor, which is what is shown here.

When you are done editing the settings, you must click the

Save Settings

button at the top of the page to make the changes effective and

permanent.

7.2 Dynamic DNS

Use the Dynamic DNS feature sub-menu to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server,

etc.)

using

a

domain

name

that

you

have

purchased

(www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most

broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses.

Using a Dynamic DNS service provider, the router can be addressed by Host Name,

regardless of the assigned IP address.

7.2.1

Dynamic DNS

Enable Dynamic DNS.

Enable this option only if you have purchased your own

domain name and registered with a Dynamic DNS service provider.

Server Address.

Select a Dynamic DNS service provider from the pull-down list.

Custom Server Name.

Only available if you select Custom Server from the Server

Address drop down. Enter your custom dynamic DNS server address here. The server must support the DynDNS protocol. See www.dyndns.org

for details. Example:

myserver.mydomain.net

.

Host Name.

Enter the host name,

fully qualified; for example:

myhost.mydomain.net

.

Username or Key

. Enter the username or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service

provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three

fields.

Password or Key

. Enter the password or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service

provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three

fields.

Verify Password or Key.

Re-type the password or key provided by the Dynamic

DNS service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that

key in all three fields.

Advanced.

Click the

Advanced >>

button to access the following functions:

Timeout

. The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if the dynamic IP

address has not change. The timeout period is entered in hours. NOTE: this option will automatically disable if Username and Password or keys

are incorrect.

External IP.

This allows you to specify the IP that should be sent to the DynDNS server, and a time frame in which it should time out and send the

information again. Thus, if you pick a time out of 6 hours, the IP will send a new update every 6 hours.

NOTE.

If a dynamic DNS update fails for any reason (for example, when incorrect parameters are entered), the router automatically disables the

Dynamic DNS feature and records the failure in the log.

NOTE: After configuring the router for dynamic DNS, you can open a browser and navigate to the URL for your domain (for example

) and the router will attempt to forward the request to port 80 on your LAN. If, however, you do this from a LAN-side

computer and there is no virtual server defined for port 80, the router will return the router's configuration home page. Refer to the

Advanced

→

Virtual Server

configuration page to set up a virtual server.
