Enter a name for the rule.

This is the port used to trigger the application. It

can be either a single port or a range of ports.

Select the protocol of the trigger port (TCP,

UDP, or ANY).

This is the port number on the WAN side that

will be used to access the application. You may

define a single port or a range of ports. You

can use a comma to add multiple ports or port

ranges.

Select the protocol of the firewall port (TCP,

UDP, or ANY).

The schedule of time when the Application Rule

will be enabled. The schedule may be set to

Always, which will allow the particular service

to always be enabled. You can create your own

Application Rules

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and

others. These applications have difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications

makes some of these applications work with the WBR-2310. If you need to run applications that require multiple

connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” field, select the protocol type

as TCP or UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

The WBR-2310 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application

you want to use and enable it.

URL and domain blocking are used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by the URL or domain.

A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the

blocked word, the site will not be accessible and the web page will not display. To use this feature, enter the text string

This section will allow you to setup a DMZ host and to enable VPN passthrough.

If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the WBR-2310, then you can set

the client up for 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.

Tx Rate

Preamble

M Mode

Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of

wireless adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly

recommended to keep this setting to

Auto

.

Set the transmit power of the antennas.

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is

the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2432.

If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor

modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,

determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission.

2346 is the default setting.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for

listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common

technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless

network adapters. Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network

(LAN). CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling

CTS will add overhead and may lower wireless through put.

None:

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If

CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.

Always:

CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data.

Auto:

CTS will monitor the

wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of traffic and collisions that

occurs on the wireless network.

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enable this option to improve the quality of video and voice applications for your

wireless clients.
