categories and vice versa. If you would like to make a more refined selec-

tion of filtering options, click the plus sign (+) next to each category to dis-

play a list of its sub-categories. Note that clicking the minus sign (-) of a

category will only be possible if all its sub-categories are either checked or

unchecked.

You can also manually specify a list of Web sites and a list of URL key-

words in the provided text fields, to which you can either block or allow ac-

cess using the corresponding drop-down menu.

Click 'OK' to save the settings.

Once you have created different filtering policies, you can either define a default

policy that will be applied to all of your LAN computers, or apply different poli-

cies to individual computers separately:



LAN Filtering Policy – To select a default filtering policy for the LAN, select

the policy name from the 'Default Filtering Policy' drop-down menu located

in the 'Filtering Policy' screen, and click Apply.



PC Filtering Policy – To apply separate policies to individual home com-

puters, perform the following:

1.

In the 'Filtering Policy' screen (see

Figure 7.318

), click the 'Add a LAN

Computer' link.

2.

Enter the name or IP address of the LAN computer to which you wish to

apply a policy.

3.

Select the policy you wish to apply in the 'Policy' drop-down menu.

4.

By default, the rule will always be active. However, you can configure

scheduler rules by selecting 'User Defined', in order to define time seg-

ments during which the rule may be active. After more than one sched-

uler rule is defined, the 'Schedule' drop-down menu will allow you to

choose between the available rules.

5.

Back in the 'Filtering Policy' screen, use the check box next to the com-

puter name in order to enable or disable its policy.

6.

Click 'OK' to save the settings.

QoS Section

This chapter will describe the

QoS (Quality of Service) Section

accessible

from the

Home Page

of the

PRG AV4202N

.

Be aware that any configuration changes could compromise your connectivity.

Quality of Service refers to the capability of a network device to provide better

service to selected network traffic. This is achieved by processing higher priority

traffic before lower priority traffic.

As Quality of Service is dependent on the "weakest link in the chain", failure of a

single component along the data path can easily cause a VoIP call or a Video

on Demand (VoD) broadcast to fail miserably.

QoS must therefore obviously be addressed end-to-end.

GENERAL

The 'General' tab provides a Quality of Service "wizard", with which you can

configure your QoS parameters according to predefined profiles, with just a few

clicks. A chosen QoS profile will automatically define QoS rules, which you can

view and edit in the rest of the QoS tab screens.

WAN Devices Bandwidth (Rx/Tx).

Before selecting the QoS profile that mostly

suits your needs, select your bandwidth from this combo-box. If you do not see

an appropriate entry, select 'User Defined', and enter your Tx and Rx band-

widths manually.

Tx Bandwidth.

Enter your Tx bandwidth in Kbits per second.

Rx Bandwidth.

Enter your Rx bandwidth in Kbits per second.

QoS Section

QoS Profiles.

Select the profile that mostly suits your bandwidth usage. Each

profile entry displays a quote describing what the profile is best used for, and

the QoS priority levels granted to each bandwidth consumer in this profile.



Default

: No QoS preferences



P2P User

: Peer-to-peer and file sharing applications will receive priority



Triple Play User

: VoIP and video streaming will receive priority



Home Worker

: VPN and browsing will receive priority



Gamer

: Game-related traffic will receive priority



Priority By Host

: This entry provides the option to configure which computer

in your LAN will receive the highest priority and which the lowest. If you have

additional computers, they will receive medium priority.

- High Priority Host: enter the host name or IP address of the computer to

which you would like to grant the highest bandwidth priority.

- Low Priority Host: enter the host name or IP address of the computer to

which you would like to grant the lowest bandwidth priority.
