PPPoE Session Management
Multiple PPPoE sessions are supported and you can choose to “map” sessions to individual PCs
if desired.
Multiple IP Address Support
If your ISP allocates you multiple IP addresses, these are also supported and you can “map” IP
addresses to individual PCs if desired.
Special Applications
This feature allows you to use some non-standard applications, where the port number used for
the response is different to the port number used by the sender.
Virtual Servers
This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. For standard servers
such as Web, FTP or E-Mail servers, only the IP address of the server PC is required. You can
also define you own Server types if required.
Multiple DMZ
A "DMZ" PC will receive incoming connection requests, which would otherwise be blocked. For
each IP address allocated by your ISP, a separate "DMZ" PC can be specified. So if your ISP has
given you multiple IP addresses, you can have multiple “DMZ” PCs. Each “DMZ” PC has
unrestricted 2-way Internet access, providing the ability to run programs that are otherwise
incompatible with NAT routers like the Load Balancer.
Access Filter
The network Administrator can use the Access Filter to gain fine control over the Internet access
and applications available to LAN users. Five (5) user groups are available, and each group can
have different access rights.
Block URL
Use this feature to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. You can even have
different settings for different groups of PCs.
Session Limit
With Session Limit feature, if the numbers of new sessions for system exceed the maximum in
the sampling time, any new session in the system will be drop.
Firewall Exception
With firewall exception, the packets will not be processed by firewall or NAT module, but be
processed directly by system protocol stack.
