The Options page allows you to enable/disable some advanced features
supported by DCM-604.
Check the option you want to use and click
Apply
button to enable the
function(s).
WAN Blocking:
To prevent others on the WAN side from being able to
ping your DCM-604. With WAN Blocking on, your DCM-604 will not
respond to pings it receives, effectively “hiding” your gateway.
IPSec Pass-through:
To enable IPSec type packets to pass through
between WAN and LAN.
PPTP Pass-through:
To enable PPTP type packets to pass through
between WAN and LAN.
Remote Config Management:
To make the Web Management pages of
your DCM-604 accessible from the WAN side. Page access is limited to
only those who know the DCM-604 access password you set in the
Status--Security
page.
When accessing the DCM-604 from a remote location, you must use
HTTP port 8080 and your IP address. This is the "WAN IP address" that
appears at the
Basic--Setup
page. For example, if this IP address were
211.20.15.28, you would navigate to http:// 211.20.15.28:8080 to reach
the DCM-604’s Web Management page from a remote location.
Multicast Enable:
To enable multicast traffic to pass through between
WAN and LAN. You may need to enable this to see some types of
broadcast streaming and content on the Internet, such as webcasting of a
popular live event.
UPnP Enable:
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) offers pervasive peer-to-
peer network connectivity of PCs of all form factors, intelligent appliances,
and wireless devices. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web
to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data
transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and everywhere in
between.
