NNTP
(Network News Transfer Protocol). The protocol used to connect to Usenet groups on the Internet. Usenet
newsreaders support the NNTP protocol.
SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol). A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is
passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network
device (hub, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agents return
information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is
obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).
Ext. Port
. Enter the number of the external port used by the server in the
Ext. Port
column. Check with the
Internet application documentation for more information.
TCP or UDP
. Select the protocol
UDP
or
TCP
for each application. You cannot select both protocols.
Int. Port
. Enter the number of the internal port used by the server in the
Int. Port
column. Check with the Internet
application software documentation for more information.
IP Address
. Enter the IP address of the server that you want the Internet users to be able to access. To find the IP
address, go to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”
Enabled
. Check the
Enabled
box to enable the service you have defined. UPnP Forwarding will not function if the
Enabled button is left unchecked. This is disabled (unchecked) by default.

Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports
The Applications & Gaming Tab - DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as
Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port
Range Forwarding is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting
opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static
IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.
DMZ
DMZ
. To use this feature, select
Enable
. To disable DMZ hosting, select
Disable
.
DMZ Host IP Address
. To expose one PC, enter the computer’s IP address. To get the IP address of a computer,
refer to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” Deactivate DMZ by
entering a
0
in the field.

The Applications & Gaming Tab - QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve
demanding, real-time applications, such as Internet phone calls or videoconferencing.
Application-based QoS
Application-based QoS manages information as it is transmitted and received. Depending on the settings of the
QoS
screen, this feature will assign information a high or low priority for the five preset applications and three
additional applications that you specify.
Enabled/Disabled
. To use application-based QoS, select
Enable
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Disable
.
High priority/Low priority
. For each application, select
High priority
or
Low priority
.
FTP
(File Transfer Protocol). A protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). For
example, after developing the HTML pages for a website on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the
web server using FTP.
HTTP
(HyperText Transport Protocol). The communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide
Web. Its primary function is to establish a connection with a web server and transmit HTML pages to the client
web browser.
Telnet
. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at
a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.
SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet. It is a TCP/IP protocol that
defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail.
POP3
(Post Office Protocol 3). A standard mail server commonly used on the Internet. It provides a message store
that holds incoming e-mail until users log on and download it. POP3 is a simple system with little selectivity. All
pending messages and attachments are downloaded at the same time. POP3 uses the SMTP messaging protocol.
Specific Port#
. You can add three additional applications by entering their respective port numbers in the
Specific Port#
fields.
Port-based QoS
Port-based QoS allows you to prioritize performance for three of the Router’s ports, LAN Ports 1-3. Port-based
QoS does not require support from your ISP because the prioritized ports are LAN ports going out to your network.

. Select the port’s priority level,
High
or
Low
.
Flow Control
. If you want the Router to control the transmission of data between network devices, select
Enable
.
To disable this feature, select
