4.8.2 Schedule
The Vigor router has a built-in real time clock which can update itself manually or
automatically by means of Network Time Protocols (NTP). As a result, you can not only
schedule the router to dialup to the Internet at a specified time, but also restrict Internet
access to certain hours so that users can connect to the Internet only during certain hours, say,
business hours. The schedule is also applicable to other functions.
You have to set your time before set schedule. In
System Maintenance>>
Time and Date
menu, press
Inquire Time
button to set the Vigor router’s clock to current time of your PC.
The clock will reset once if you power down or reset the router. There is another way to set
up time. You can inquiry an NTP server (a time server) on the Internet to synchronize the
router’s clock. This method can only be applied when the WAN connection has been built
up.
Set to Factory Default
Clear all profiles and recover to factory settings.

4.8.3 RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a security authentication
client/server protocol that supports authentication, authorization and accounting, which is
widely used by Internet service providers. It is the most common method of authenticating
and authorizing dial-up and tunneled network users.
The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist the remote dial-in user or a
wireless station and the RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables
centralized remote access authentication for network management.
Enable
Check to enable RADIUS client feature.
Server IP Address
Enter the IP address of RADIUS server
Destination Port
The UDP port number that the RADIUS server is using. The
default value is 1812, based on RFC 2138.
Shared Secret
The RADIUS server and client share a secret that is used to
authenticate the messages sent between them. Both sides must
be configured to use the same shared secret.
Confirm Shared Secret
Re-type the Shared Secret for confirmation.

4.8.4 UPnP
The
UPnP
(Universal Plug and Play) protocol is supported to bring to network connected
devices the ease of installation and configuration which is already available for directly
connected PC peripherals with the existing Windows 'Plug and Play' system. For NAT
routers, the major feature of UPnP on the router is “NAT Traversal”. This enables
applications inside the firewall to automatically open the ports that they need to pass through
a router. It is more reliable than requiring a router to work out by itself which ports need to
be opened. Further, the user does not have to manually set up port mappings or a DMZ.
UPnP is available on Windows XP
and the router provide the associated support for MSN
Messenger to allow full use of the voice, video and messaging features.
Enable UPNP Service
Accordingly, you can enable either the
Connection Control
Service
or
Connection Status Service
.
After setting
Enable UPNP Service
setting, an icon of
IP Broadband Connection on
Router
on Windows XP/Network Connections will appear. The connection status and
control status will be able to be activated. The NAT Traversal of UPnP enables the
multimedia features of your applications to operate. This has to manually set up port
mappings or use other similar methods. The screenshots below show examples of this
facility.
The UPnP facility on the router enables UPnP aware applications such as MSN Messenger to
discover what are behind a NAT router. The application will also learn the external IP
address and configure port mappings on the router. Subsequently, such a facility forwards
packets from the external ports of the router to the internal ports used by the application.
