DNS
Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name. Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers.
top

NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) can be enabled or disabled through this option.
top

Virtual Server
If you configure the ADSLRT as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP address. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the ADSLRT redirects the external service request to the appropriate server.

Example:

    ID Private IP Private Port Type Public Port Comment
    1 192.168.2.20 80 TCP 200 Web Server
    2 192.168.2.12 21 TCP 333 FTP Server
    3 192.168.2.28 23 TCP 455 Telnet Server

Firewall
The ADSLRT provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
top

Discard PING from WAN side - When this feature is enabled, hosts on the WAN cannot ping the ADSLRT.
top

Client Filtering
You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day.
For example, one can configure the LAN clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 could be permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 can be blocked from browsing the Internet (i.e. HTTP Port 80) from Monday through Friday.
top

Packet Filtering - You can block access to your box by providing details of the packets to be blocked.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
top

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the IPv4 settings of connected computer to CPE.
top

DNS Server Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested into your Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.
top

DSL Modem DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
top

Ethernet A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 100 million bits per second (Mbps).
top

IP Address IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.
top

ISP Gateway Address (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem.

top

LAN Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. The LAN ports in device are of RJ48 type.
top

MAC Address MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.
top

NAT Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the ADSLRT, allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the local address for an IP server(such as Web or FTP) to a public address. This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network. NAT must be enabled to provide multi-user access to the Internet or to use the Virtual Server function.
