Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Triggering
Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX200
The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Triggering
Port Triggering is used for special applications that can request a port to be opened on demand. For this feature,
the Gateway will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Gateway will remember the IP address of the
computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the
Gateway, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
Port Triggering
Application
. In this field, enter the name you wish to give the application.
Triggered Range and Forwarded Range
Start Port and End Port
. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the Triggered Range and Forwarded
Range.
Enable
. Click the
Enable
checkbox to enable port triggering for the relevant application.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the
Save Settings

button to undo your changes.
The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such
as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port
Range Forward feature 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
To expose one PC, select
Enable
. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the
DMZ Host IP Address
field.

Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS
Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX200
The Applications and 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 videoconferencing.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
ACK Mode
. This setting prioritizes QoS for users who also have ACK Mode enabled. Users with Immediate ACK
(the default setting) will experience reliable connectivity for normal network use. Burst ACK is faster but less
reliable and may also affect long-range wireless performance. The No ACK setting disables the ACK feature.
Clients utilizing ACK must have their wireless adapter on the same setting as the Router. This is normally used in
a multicast broadcast like video. Do not use this unless you are an advanced user.
802.11e/QoS
. QoS will be enabled by default to provide the best performance for your wireless connection.
Select
Disable
to improve performance for a mixed wireless network.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set priority based on Application, Port Range, or MAC Address. There are four priories you
can set: High, Medium, Normal, or Low.
Enable/Disable
. To limit outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, select
Enable
. Otherwise, select
Disable
.
Set Internet Bandwidth
. This setting allows you to limit the outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, so
you can control how much bandwidth a particular application is allowed to use. Enter the bandwidth in the field.
Application
. With this option you can select
None
,
Add a New Application
,
Voice Device,
Online Game
, or
select from the list of applications you want to set. To create a new entry, select
Add a New Application
, and
refer to the
Add a New Application
section.
Priority
. Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select
High
,
Medium
,
Normal
, or
Low
for the bandwidth you need for that application. Don’t set all applications to High, because this will defeat the
purpose of allocating the available bandwidth. If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select
Low
.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority. Once you
have made your selection, click
Add
to add to the Summary list.

Add a New Application
Enter a Name
Enter any name to indicate the name of the entry.
Category
Select from
Port Range
or
MAC Address
for the Router to use to set the bandwidth priority.
Port Range
If you selected Port Range, then this category will be available. It allows you to enter the port
range that the application will be using. For example, if you want to allocate bandwidth for FTP,
you can enter 21-21. If you need services for an application that uses from 1000 to 1250, you
enter 1000-1250 as your settings. You can have up to three ranges to define for this bandwidth
allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535. Check your application's documentation
for details on the service ports used.
MAC Address
If you selected MAC Address, then this category will be available. Enter the 12 hexadecimal
digit MAC Address to represent the device you want to set as a bandwidth priority.
This is a
unique identifier for your network device. When the Router identifies the device entered, the
Router will allocate the priority set for that entry. Check the device’s documentation to obtain
the MAC Address.
Priority
Select the bandwidth priority for the application you selected. Select
High
,
Medium
,
Normal
,
or
Low
for the bandwidth, but don’t set all applications to High. Once you have made your
selection, click
Add
to add to the Summary list.
Voice Device
Enter the name of your network device in the
Enter a Name
field, enter its MAC Address, select its priority
from the drop-down menu, and click
Add
.
Online Game
Selecting Online Game will display the
Select a Game
drop-down menu, which will list a few common pre-
configured games. Select the game from the list, and then select its priority.
Summary
Priority
This displays the bandwidth allocation priority of High, Medium, Normal, or Low, that you set
for the application.
Name
This displays the application name or the entries you entered to be allocated.
Information
This displays the Port Range or MAC Address entered when you added a new application. If a
pre-configured application was selected, there will be no valid entry shown in this section.

The Administration Tab - Management
This section of the Administration tab allows the network’s administrator to manage specific Router functions for
access and security.
Router Password
Local Router Access
Router Password and Re-enter to confirm
. You can change the Router’s password from here. Enter a new
Router password and then type it again in the
Re-enter to confirm
field to confirm.
Remote Router Access
Remote Management and Management Port
. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify
that
Enable
is selected. Then, enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter
the Router’s password when accessing the Router this way, as usual.
UPnP
UPnP
. UPnP allows Windows XP and Windows Me to automatically configure the Router for various Internet
applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. To enable UPnP, check the
Enable
radio box. Because
allowing this may present a risk to security, this feature is disabled by default.
Multicast
Multicast Pass Through
. Multicasting allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time.
If multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate
computers. Select
Enable
to allow multicasting, or
Disable
to disable this feature.
Change these settings as described here and click the
Save Settings
button to apply your changes or
