Schedules

Click on the

Schedules

link in the navigation menu. Schedules can be created for

use with enforcing rules. For example, if you want to restrict web access to Mon-

Fri from 3pm to 8pm, you could create a schedule selecting Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu,

and Fri and enter a Start Time of 3pm and End Time of 8pm.

Name

: Specify a name for the schedule.

Day(s)

: Select the days at which you would like the schedule to be effective.

All Day – 24 hrs

: Place a check in this box if you would like the schedule to

be active for 24 hours.

Start Time

: If you do not use the 24 hours option, you may specify a start

time.

End Time

: If you do not use the 24 hours option, you may specify an end

time.

Click on the

Save

button to add this schedule into the list.

4.4 Advanced Settings

Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server,

etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased with your dynamically

assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic

(changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, your

friends can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your

IP address is.

Enable Dynamic DNS

: Place a check in this box to enable the DDNS feature.

Service Address

: Select a DDNS service provider from the drop-down list.

DynDNS is a free service while TZO offers a 30 day free trial.

Host Name

: Specify the website URL.

User Name

: Specify the user name for the DDNS service.

Password

: Specify the password for the DDNS service and verify it once

again in the next field.

Timeout

: Specify the time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if

the dynamic IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in

hours.

Click on the

Apply

button once you have modified the settings.

StreamEngine

The StreamEngine feature helps improve the network performance by prioritizing

applications.

Enable Traffic Shaping

: Place a check in the box to enable traffic shaping.

When this option is enabled, the router restricts the flow of outbound traffic

so as not to exceed the WAN uplink bandwidth.

Automatic Uplink Speed

. Place a check in this box to enable automatic

uplink speed. When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically

measure the useful uplink bandwidth each time the WAN interface is re-

established (after a reboot, for example).

Measured Uplink Speed

: Displays the uplink speed. This is the uplink speed

measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value may be

lower than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network

protocol overheads associated with your ISP's network. Typically, this figure

will be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL

connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network connections.

Manual Uplink Speed

: Specify an uplink speed or select it from the drop-

down list. If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this option allows you to set

Page 54 / 74

the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be

transferred from the router to your ISP.

Connection Type

: By default, the router automatically determines whether

the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other

connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result

as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network

connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you

configure either Static or DHCP in the WAN settings, setting this option to

xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize

that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best

performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the

measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such

connections, but gives much better results.

Routing

This section adds a new entry into the routing table.

Enable

: Place a check in this box to enable the routing table entry.

Name

: Specify a name for the rule.

Destination IP

: Specify the destination IP address.

Netmask

: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.

Gateway

: Specify the IP address of the gateway.

Metric

: Specify the number of routing hops. 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

: Select the interface from the drop-down list.

Click on the

Save

button to insert the entry into the Routing table.

MAC Address Filter

This feature is used to restrict certain MAC address from accessing the Internet.

These filters can be used for securing and restricting your network.

Configure MAC Filtering

: Select one of the options from the drop-down list.

Turn MAC Filtering OFF:

When "OFF" is selected, MAC addresses are

not used to control network access.

Turn MAC Filtering ON and ALLOW computers listed to access

the network:

When "ALLOW" is selected, only computers with MAC

addresses listed in the MAC Filtering Rules list are granted network

access.

Turn MAC Filtering ON and DENY computers listed to access the

network:

When "DENY" is selected, any computer with a MAC address

listed in the MAC Filtering Rules list is refused access to the network.

MAC Address

: Specify that MAC address that you would like to filter.
