Enable StreamEngine™:

This option is enabled by default. Disable this option for

testing how the traffic and services performs without StreamEngine™ enabled. This

engine will enhance VoIP, video conferencing, gaming, data throughput while

keeping control of P2P applications.

Automatic Classification:

This option is enabled by default so that your router will

automatically determine which programs should have network priority. Leave this

option enabled for best performance, so that it may automatically set the priorities

for your applications.

Dynamic Fragmentation:

This option should be enabled when you have a slow

Internet uplink. It helps reduce the impact that large, low priority network packets

can have on more urgent ones by breaking the large packets into several smaller

packets.

3.5.2

Add/Edit StreamEngine™ Rule

A

StreamEngine™ rule

identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to

that flow. For most applications,

automatic classification

will be adequate, and

specific

StreamEngine™ rules

will not be required.

Note: Conflicting rules are not permitted. Conflicting rules are those that share any

combination of source address/port, destination address/port, and protocol.

Rejecting conflicting rules ensures the that every flow defined in a rule receives the

expected priority and avoids indeterminate prioritization that could reduce QoS

effectiveness.

Enable:

Toggle whether a

StreamEngine

™ rule

is

Enabled

or

Disabled

.

Name:

Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.

Priority:

The priority of the message flow is entered here. 1 receives the highest

priority (most urgent) and 255 receives the lowest priority. 0 is reserved. Flows that

are not prioritized by any rule receive lowest priority.

Protocol:

The

protocol

used by the messages. The common choices can be selected

from the drop-down menu. To specify any other protocol, enter its

protocol number

(

as assigned by the IANA

) in the

Protocol

box.

Local IP Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side IP address

falls within the range set here.

Local Port Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side port

number is within the range set here.

Remote IP Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages whose WAN-side IP

address falls within the range set here.

Remote Port Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages whose WAN-side port

number is within the range set here.

Save:

Saves the new rule or modified existing rule to the

StreamEngine™ Rules

list.

When you are done editing the settings, you must click the

Save Settings

button at

the top of the page to make the changes effective and permanent.

3.6.1

Add/ Edit Route

Adds a new route to the IP routing table, or edits an existing route.

Enable:

Toggle whether a

route

is

Enabled

or

Disabled

.

Route is via another gateway:

When checked, the Gateway box is displayed and

must be completed with the IP address of the gateway/router to which this route

corresponds. Datagrams sent to this route are forwarded onto the given Gateway IP

address for further processing. When unchecked, this route represents a local route

for which this router has its own IP address with which to communicate.

Name:

Assign a meaningful name to this route for your own use.

Destination IP:

The IP address or network that the packets will be attempting to

access

Note: 192.168.1.0 with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0 means traffic will be routed to

the entire 192.168.1.x network.

Netmask:

The bits in the mask specify which bits of the IP address must match.

Note: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the

Destination IP field.

Gateway:

Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of

0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly

connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.

Metric:

The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this

route. A value of 1 is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16

indicates that the route is not reachable from this router. When trying to reach a

particular destination, computers on your network will select the best route, ignoring

unreachable routes.

Interface:

Specifies the interface, LAN or WAN, that the IP packet must use to

transit out of the router when this route is used.

Save:

Saves the new rule or modified existing rule to the Rules list. When you are

done editing the settings, you must click the Save Settings button at the top of the

page to make the changes

effective and permanent.

web access based on time or dates, and/or block access from applications like P2P

utilities or games.

Access Control

Enable:

Toggle whether

access control

is

Enabled

or

Disabled

.

Note:

When Access Control is disabled, every device on the LAN has unrestricted

access to the Internet. However, if you enable Access Control, Internet access is

restricted for those devices that have an Access Control Policy configured for them.

All other devices have unrestricted access to the Internet.

Add Policy:

Click this button to start creating a new access control policy. The Policy

Wizard guides you through the steps of defining each access control policy. A policy

is the "Who, What, When, and How" of access control -- whose computer will be

affected by the control, what internet addresses are controlled, when will the control

be in effect, and how is the control implemented. You can define multiple policies.

The Policy Wizard starts when you click the button below and also when you edit an

existing policy.
