Configuring the MAC Address Filter for Restricting

Wireless Internet Access

Thomas noticed that his daughter Josephine spends too much time surfing the web and

downloading media files. He decided to prevent Josephine from accessing the Internet so that she

can concentrate on preparing for her final exams.

Josephine’s computer connects wirelessly to the Internet through the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Thomas can deny access to the wireless network using the MAC address of Josephine’s computer.

1

Check the MAC address (physical address) of the wireless card on Josephine’s computer using the

“ipconfig /all” command in a Command Prompt.

Setting Up NAT Forwarding for a Game Server

Thomas manages a Doom server on a computer behind the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. In order

for players on the Internet (like

A

in the figure below) coming through the default WAN connection

(PVC0) to communicate with the Doom server, Thomas can use port forwarding.

Tutorial: NAT Port Forwarding Setup

4.6.1

Port Forwarding

Thomas needs to configure the port settings and IP address on the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Traffic should be forwarded to port 666 of the Doom server computer which has an IP address of

192.168.1.34.

Thomas may set up the port settings by configuring the port settings for the Doom server computer

(see

Section 11.3 on page 153

for more information).

1

Activate NAT in the

Network Setting > NAT > General

screen. Click

Apply

.

2

Click

Network Setting > NAT > Port Forwarding

. Select

PVC0

as the WAN interface and click

Add new rule

.

The port forwarding settings you configured appear in the table. The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries

forwards port 666 traffic to the computer with IP address 192.168.1.34.

Players on the Internet then can have access to Thomas’ Doom server.

Configuring Firewall Rules to Allow a Specified Service

By default the firewall will block traffic originating from the WAN (

1

). However, if you are running a

server or other service, you may need to allow access from the WAN (

2

). The following tutorial will

show how to allow traffic from WAN to LAN if it matches a specified port number.

Service Name

Select

User Define

.

Start/End Ports

Enter

666

as the

Start

and

End

port.

Server IP Address

Enter the IP address of the Doom server (

192.168.1.34

for this example).
