Firewall
Define an additional layer of security for the
computers in your network. For example, if you
create a DMZ interface using the
Virtual
Server/DMZ
page (see below), you can enable
the firewall filtering and add a security policy that
blocks certain protocols from reaching the DMZ
machine.
ADSL
Configuration
Adjust the ADSL settings on your modem.
Typically, you do not need to change these ADSL
settings unless instructed by your service
provider.
Ethernet
Configuration
View and change the settings on the Ethernet
ports on your
X6
. Typically you should not need to
change these settings.
DNS
Allows you to specify multiple DNS servers.
Typically, most users do not need to enter a DNS
server unless instructed by their ISP.
LAN
Configuration
Specify the settings that control the connection
between the
X6
modem and your Ethernet jack.
Set a fixed IP address for your computer.
Routing Table
Set up the routes on which you want the X6 to
send data that it receives on a particular interface,
such as a LAN or Ethernet interface. Routes
specify the IP address of the next device,
interface, or Internet destination to forward data
to, based on the ultimate destination of the data.
Virtual
Server/DMZ
Open access to your computer by creating a
virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). By
default, your modem uses NAT (Network Address
Translation) to hide your networked computers
from users on the Internet. However, there are
times when you may want to give outside access
to the computers in your network. If so, you can
set up a virtual server or DMZ to allow outside
users access to a computer on your network. You
may want to allow access, for example, if a LAN
computer is hosting Internet games or running a
Web server.
