Bandwidth (b):    Set the bandwidth limitation of this QoS rule. You have 
to select the data direction of this rule (Upload of 
Download), and the speed of bandwidth limitation in 
Kbps, then select the type of QoS: ‘guarantee’ 
(guaranteed usable bandwidth for this rule) or ‘max’ 
(set the maximum bandwidth for the application

Local IP        Specify the local (source) IP address 
Address (c):     that will be affected by this rule. Please input the 
starting IP address in the left field, and input the end IP 
address in the right field to define a range of IP

Local Port        Please input the range of local (source) 
Range (d):    port number that will be affected by this rule. If you 
want to apply this rule on port 80 to 90, please i

3-2 Network Address Trnaslation  (NAT) 
 
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP address 
to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a 
valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service 
providers only provide very few IP addresses to every user. Therefore it’s 
necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP address to 
multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to 
Internet.  
 
Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters: 
 
 
3-2-1 Basic NAT Settings (Enable or disable NAT function) 
 
Please click ‘NAT’ menu on the left of web management interface, and the 
following message will be displayed on your web browser: 
 
 
 
To enable NAT function, please select ‘Enable’ for ‘Enable or disable NAT 
module function’ ; to disable, please select ‘Disable’. 
 
 
 
After you made the selection, please click ‘Apply’ button , and the following 
message will be displayed on your web browser: 
  
						

							 
93
 
 
Please click ‘Continue’ to back to previous setup menu; to continue on other 
setup procedures, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so the settings will 
take effect (Please wait for about 50 seconds while router is rebooting). 
 
3-2-2 Port Forwarding 
 
This function allows you to redirect a single port or consecutive ports of 
Internet IP address to the same port of the IP address on local network. The 
port number(s) of Internet IP address and private IP address (the IP address 
on local network) must be the same. If the port number of Internet IP address 
and private IP address is different, please use ‘Virtual Server’ function, 
described in next section. 
 
Please click ‘NAT’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click 
‘Port Forwarding’, and the following message will be displayed on your web 
browser:

3-2-3 Virtual Server 
 
This function allows you to redirect a port on Internet IP address (on WAN 
port) to a specified port of an IP address on local network, so you can setup 
an Internet service on the computer on local network, without exposing it on 
Internet directly. You can also build many sets of port redirection, to provide 
many different Internet services on different local computers via a single 
Internet IP address. 
 
Please click ‘NAT’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click 
‘Virtual Server’, and the following message will be displayed on your web 
browser:
