Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding
Port forwarding enables application traffic through the firewall of your Ruckus Wireless Router to one of
the computers in your home. Ordinarily, the router blocks incoming traffic as a security protection, but if you
want other computers to be able to initiate communications with yours, you need to set up port forwarding.
In most cases, such as for web browsing, sending e-mail, or any other activity where your computer initiates
the communication, you don't need to set up port forwarding. You only need it when another computer, from
elsewhere "on the Internet", initiates the communications, or when you are operating a service, such as a web
server or an e-mail server, of your own.
Other examples include multi-player Internet game playing, participating in meetings using Microsoft's
NetMeeting™, or the various instant messaging protocols (AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, etc.).
The Port Forwarding Table contains the following columns:
•
Name
of the application or service. The name must be unique.
•
Start port
and
End port
: the starting port and ending (or listening) port on both ends of the
transmission
•
Protocol
for the transmission. Select either TCP, or UDP, or BOTH.
•
IP Address
of the server accepting the transmission; this is your server.

Access Controls
Access Controls
Access Controls give you control over which stations are allowed to join (associate with) your WLAN
networks.
Figure 48—
Configuring Access Controls main page
Access Controls Options
Disabling WLAN access restrictions
If you select "Disable WLAN access restrictions", then MAC-address-based restrictions on which stations
can join the WLAN are disabled; thus, any station can join. If the WLAN uses encryption, then the station
must still supply the correct encryption pass-phrase.
The Access Controls table is hidden if the current mode is "Disable WLAN access restrictions".
Allowing only stations explicitly listed in the Access Controls Table
If you select "Allow only stations listed in the Access Controls Table", then stations entered into the
access-controls table are allowed but all others are disallowed. To add MAC addresses, see
"Changing
Access Controls" on page 58
.
Denying only stations explicitly listed in the Access Controls Table
If you select "Deny only stations listed in the Access Controls Table", then stations entered into the
access-controls table are disallowed but all others are allowed. To add MAC addresses, see
"Changing
Access Controls" on page 58
.

Access Control Table Columns
The Access Control Table, as seen in
Figure 49
and
Figure 50
, contains the following columns:
•
Address
: Six text boxes appear in which you enter the desired MAC address in hexadecimal digit
form, two characters in each box. You can specify a full 12-hex-digit MAC address or enter
"wildcard" characters for "don't care" digits. Allowable hex-digit characters are 0-9, a-f, and A-F.
Most address-tags and software where you find MAC addresses listed include colons or dashes to
separate the address-pairs; that is provided for you on the page, so do not enter the colons or dashes.
The wildcard characters are "x", "X" and blank (space character). Wildcards are useful when you want
to specify all MAC addresses from a given manufacturer. Thus for example, by specifying only the
Organizationally Unique Identifier (the first six hexadecimal digits of any MAC address from that
manufacturer is its OUI) saves you having to enter all 24 million of them (the table size is limited in the
AP/Router to 128 entries). Some manufacturers produce devices using more than one OUI, in which
case you may need to enter each applicable one.
•
Remove
: Check the 'Remove' box for any row(s) you no longer want used.
Removing MAC Addresses from a List
Simply check the box under the Remove column for the MAC address entry(ies) you want to remove from
the table and click
Update
.
Showing/Hiding Locally Known MAC Addresses
The AP/Router "knows" the MAC addresses of devices in the local network and this information can be
shown by clicking the "Show locally-known MAC addresses" link. It will disappear when you click "Hide
locally-known MAC addresses". By default, the "Remove" box is checked in each of these. Un-check it for
those devices you want included in the table. When you click
Update
, only entries in the table whose
“Remove” checkbox is un-checked will be included in the Access Controls table.
