Example
Suppose you want to control the PPPoE Internet access connection to be always on (Force
On) from 9:00 to 18:00 for whole week. Other time the Internet access connection should be
disconnected (Force Down).
Office
Hour:
(Force On)
Mon - Sun
9:00 am
to
6:00 pm
1.
Make sure the PPPoE connection and
Time Setup
is working properly.
2.
Configure the PPPoE always on from 9:00 to 18:00 for whole week.

3.
Configure the
Force Down
from 18:00 to next day 9:00 for whole week.
4.
Assign these two profiles to the PPPoE Internet access profile. Now, the PPPoE
Internet connection will follow the schedule order to perform
Force On
or
Force
Down
action according to the time plan that has been pre-defined in the schedule
profiles.
3.9.3 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.

3.9.4 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 provides 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.

The reminder as regards concern about Firewall and UPnP
Can't work with Firewall Software
Enabling firewall applications on your PC may cause the UPnP function not working
properly. This is because these applications will block the accessing ability of some
network ports.
Security Considerations
Activating the UPnP function on your network may incur some security threats. You
should consider carefully these risks before activating the UPnP function.
¾
Some Microsoft operating systems have found out the UPnP weaknesses and hence
you need to ensure that you have applied the latest service packs and patches.
¾
Non-privileged users can control some router functions, including removing and
adding port mappings.
The UPnP function dynamically adds port mappings on behalf of some UPnP-aware
applications. When the applications terminate abnormally, these mappings may not be
removed.

3.9.5 IGMP
IGMP is the abbreviation of
Internet Group Management Protocol
. It is a communication
protocol which is mainly used for managing the membership of Internet Protocol multicast
groups. For invoking IGMP Snooping function, you have to check the Enable IGMP Proxy
box first for activating the IGMP proxy function.
Enable IGMP Proxy
Check this box to enable this function. The application of
multicast will be executed through WAN port.
Enable IGMP Snooping
Check this box to enable this function. The application of
multicast will be executed for the clients in LAN.
Group ID
This
field displays the ID port for the multicast group. The
available range for IGMP starts from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.254.
P1 to P4
It indicates the LAN port used for the multicast group.
Refresh
Click this link to renew the working multicast group status.
If you check Enable IGMP Proxy, you will get the following page. All the multicast groups
will be listed and all the LAN ports (P1 to P4) are available for use.
3.9.6 Wake on LAN
A PC client on LAN can be woken up by the router it connects. When a user wants to wake
up a specified PC through the router, he/she must type correct MAC address of the specified
PC on this web page of
Wake on LAN
of this router.
In addition, such PC must have installed a network card supporting WOL function. By the
way, WOL function must be set as “Enable” on the BIOS setting.
