Description of Intrusion Detection settings:
The table below contains a description of the settings on the Intrusion Detection page :
Section
Description
SPI and Anti-DoS firewall
protection
This option allows you to configure the SPI and Anti
Denial of Service protection on the router firewall.
By default the SPI firewall and Anti-DoS setting is
enabled to protect your router and network
Select ‘Enable’ to switch on SPI (Stateful Packet
Inspection) firewall and Anti Denial of Service
settings on the router. Selecting this option will tick
all of the individual SPI service rules.
Select ‘Disable’ to switch off the SPI and Anti Denial
of Service protection on the router. Selecting this
option will untick all of the individual SPI service
rules.
TCP Connection
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic.
UDP Session
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) traffic.
FTP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) traffic.
H.323 Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all

H323 traffic for videoconferencing or Netmeeting.
TFTP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
TFTP (Trivial FTP) traffic.
SIP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) traffic for
videoconferencing or VoIP.
RTSP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) traffic.
L2TP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
L2TP (Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol) traffic.
PPTP Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
PPTP (Point to Point Tunnelling Protocol) traffic.
IPSec Service
This option enables or disables the SPI firewall for all
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) traffic.
Discard Ping to WAN
Interface
This option allows you to configure whether the
router will discard ICMP ping traffic from the WAN.
This is enabled by default.
If you select ‘Disable’, then an ICMP ping response
from the router will occur if pinged from the WAN,
making the WAN IP address of the router visible and
potentially vulnerable.
DMZ
The Bright Box Wireless Router stops Internet traffic getting to your internal network unless
traffic is initiated by a computer or device on your network or you've set up port forwarding
or port trigger rules.
If you think your router is stopping a particular application (for example an online game or
video conferencing) from working correctly, you can temporarily add the computer or device’s
IP address into the 'Demilitarized Zone' (DMZ) as a test. This will mean that many of the
router firewall features are bypassed for this computer while the DMZ is active.
Before setting up the DMZ, it is a good idea to reserve an IP address for the device you wish
to put inside the DMZ. You can do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP admin page, under
the address reservation section. See
how to reserve an IP address
on page 124 for further
information.
Please be aware that the DMZ should only be used for testing or diagnostic purposes, as
it will make the computer inside the DMZ potentially vulnerable to external attack or hacking.
Use the Port Forwarding or Port Triggering functions to create specific port rules to allow
traffic through the router firewall.
To access the DMZ configuration page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on Firewall in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Firewall menu
4.
Click on DMZ in the left hand navigation menu:

Description of DMZ settings
The table below contains a description of the settings on the DMZ page:
Section
Description
No.
This field is the index for the router DMZ entry.
Public IP Address
This field is used to configure the public (Internet) IP
address of the DMZ entry. Index number 1 cannot be
configured, but will always reflect the current
Internet IP address assigned to the router.
Index numbers 2 – 8 allow you to configure manual
public IP addresses for the DMZ. These entries must
be unique, and not match another entry in the list.
They are suitable if you have multiple static IP
addresses and are not supported for EE Broadband
users.
Client IP Address
This field is used to configure the IP address of the
device or computer on your local network that you
are putting inside the DMZ, to allow incoming and
outgoing traffic to be unimpeded by the firewall.
It is recommended that you create a reserved IP
address in the DHCP page for any computer you

want to put in the DMZ.
How to add a computer to the De-militarized zone (DMZ)
If you think your Bright Box Wireless Router is stopping a particular application from working
correctly, you can temporarily add the computer or device into the 'Demilitarized Zone' (DMZ)
as a test. While this is safer than completely disabling your firewall, we suggest that you don't
leave your computer unprotected in the DMZ.
To add a computer to the DMZ:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on Firewall in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Firewall menu
4.
Click on DMZ in the left hand navigation menu:
5.
In the ‘Enable DMZ’ option, select ‘Enable’

6.
In the ‘client device IP address’ field for Index 1, enter the IP address of the computer you
wish to add to the DMZ. In this example we will add 192.168.1.10:
7.
Click Save Settings:
8.
The computer will now be in the router’s DMZ.
Ensure that when you have completed any troubleshooting with a computer inside the
DMZ, you disable the DMZ. You can do this by navigating to the DMZ page and selecting the
‘Disable’ option and clicking Save Settings:
QOS
By default all types of Internet traffic on the Bright Box router are given the same priority as
any other type. QoS, or Quality of Service is a feature of the Bright Box router that allows you
to give priority to certain types of Internet traffic for applications on your network (i.e. VoIP
or online gaming) or to prioritise traffic from a particular computer or device on your home
network.
To configure QoS, you must define the types of traffic that you want to prioritise, either from
a pre-defined list or custom port numbers. You can also prioritise individual devices on your
network by MAC address, IP address or by the connected Ethernet ports or wireless SSID’s.
