Domain Blocking

Domain Blocking is

used to allow or deny

LAN (Local Area

Network) computers

from accessing

specific domains on

the Internet. Domain

blocking will deny all

requests to a specific

domain such as http

and ftp. It can also

allow computers to

access specific sites

and deny all other

sites.

Advanced > Firewall

Firewall Rules is an advance feature used to deny or allow traffic from

passing through the Broadband Router. I

t works in the same way as IP

Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for

the DI-514. When virtual services are created and enabled, it will also

display in Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules contains all network firewall rules

pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol).

In the

Firewall Rules List

at the bottom of the screen, the priorities of the

rules are from top (highest priority) to bottom (lowest priority.)

Note:

The DI-514 MAC Address filtering rules have precedence over the

Firewall Rules.

Advanced > DMZ

If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from

behind the DI-514, then you can set the client up to unrestricted Internet

access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is

useful for gaming purposes. Enter the IP address of the internal computer

that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this

option as a last resort.

Advanced > Performance

Beacon Interval

- Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.

100

is the default setting

and is recommended.

RTS Threshold

- This value should remain at its

default setting of

2432

.

If

inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be

made.

Fragmentation

- This value should also remain at its default setting of

2346.

If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your

Fragmentation Threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the

Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.

DTIM

- (

is the default setting.

A DTIM

is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast

and multicast messages.

Basic Rates

– Select the data rate. Default is

1-2-5.5-11Mbps

.

TX Rates

– Select the data rate. Default is

1-2-5.5-11Mbps

.

Preamble Type - Short preamble

is the default setting. (High traffic

networks should use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the

length of the CRC block used in communication between the Access Point

and the roaming wireless Network adapters. (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a

common technique for detecting data transmission errors)

Authentication

- Select

Open system

,

Shared Key

or

Auto

Open System

- The DI-514 will be visible to all devices on the network. This

is the default setting.

Shared Key

- In this mode, in order to access the DI-514 on the network, the

device must be listed in the MAC Address Control List.

Auto

- In this mode, all devices on the network can access the

DI-514.

SSID Broadcast

-

Enable

is the default setting. Choose

Enable

to

broadcast the SSID across the network. All devices on a network must share

the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) to establish communication. Choose

Disable

if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID over the network.

Admin

At this page, the DI-514

administrator can change the

system password. There are

two accounts that can access

the Broadband Router’s Web-

Management interface. They

are

admin

and

user

.

Admin

has read/write access while

user

has read-only access.

User

can only view the

settings but cannot make any

changes.

Remote Management

Remote Management allows the DI-514 to be configured from the Internet by

a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the

Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can

Tools > Admin

browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature

enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

IP Address:

Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the

Broadband Router.

It is not recommended that you set the IP address to

* (star), because this allows any Internet IP address to access the

Broadband Router, which could result in a loss of security for your

network.

If you elect to

enable

Remote Management, enter the IP Address

of your remote location.

Port:

Select the port number used to access the Broadband Router.

Example:

http://x.x.x.x:8080

whereas x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the

Broadband Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management

interface.

Time

The system time is the time

used by the DI-514 for

scheduling services. You can

manually set the time or connect

to a NTP (Network Time

Protocol) server. If an NTP

server is set, you will only need

to set the time zone. If you

manually set the time, you may

also set Daylight Saving dates

and the system time will

automatically adjust on those dates.

System Settings

The current system settings can

be saved as a file onto the local

hard drive. The saved file or any

other saved setting file can be

loaded back on the Broadband

Router. To reload a system

settings file, click on Browse to

browse the local hard drive and

locate the system file to be used.

You may also reset the

Broadband Router back to

factory settings by clicking on

Restore
