4.3.4 Dynamic DNS 
To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS).  
In this case when someone needs to reach your host, all he needs to know is the name. Dynamic DNS will 
map the name of your host to your current IP address, which may change each time you connect to your 
Internet service provider.  
Before activating 
Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers 
listed in  provider  field.  
To enable  Dynamic DNS ,  click the check box next to  Enable in the DDNS  field. 
Next, enter the appropriate information about your Dynamic DNS Server. 
You have to define: 
Provider  
Host Name  
Username/E-mail  
Password/Key  
You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server.

server. If you enable this product ’s DHCP server and configure your computers as  “ automatic IP allocation ” 
mode, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from this product when your computer is 
powered on. The settings of DHCP server include the following items:

1.  DHCP Server : Choose “Disable ” or  “Enable. ” 
2.  Lease Time:  Define the period of time for the IP address leased.  
3.  IP pool starting Address/ IP pool starting Address : Whenever there is a request, the DHCP 
server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the 
requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. 
4.  Domain Name : Optional, this information will be passed to the client. 
5.  Primary DNS/Secondary DNS : This feature allows you to assign DNS Servers 
6.  Primary WINS/Secondary WINS : This feature allows you to assign WINS Servers 
7.  Gateway: The Gateway Address would be the IP address of an alternate Gateway.  
 This function enables you to assign another gateway to your PC, when DHCP server offers an IP  to your PC.

4.4.2 MAC Address Control 
 
 
 
MAC Address Control  allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific 
IP address to a certain MAC address. 
MAC Address Control  Check “Enable ” to enable the  “MAC Address Control ”. All of the settings 
in this page will take effect only when  “Enable ” is checked. 
Connection control  Check Connection control to enable the controlling of which wired and 
wireless clients can connect to this device. If a client is denied to connect 
to this device, it means the client cant access to the Internet either. 
Choose allow  or deny  to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC 
addresses are not in the Control table (please see below), to connect to 
this device. 
Association control  Check Association control  to enable the controlling of which wireless 
client can associate to the wireless LAN. If a client is denied to associate 
to the wireless LAN, it means the client cant send or receive any data via 
this device. Choose  allow or deny  to allow or deny the clients, whose 
MAC addresses are not in the Control table, to associate to the wireless 
LAN.

Control table 
 
Control table  is the table at the bottom of the  MAC Address Control 
page. Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected 
IP address mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table: 
 
 
MAC Address  MAC address indicates a specific client.  IP Address  Expected IP address of the corresponding 
client. Keep it empty if you dont care its IP 
address. 
C 
When Connection control  is checked, 
check  C will allow the corresponding 
client to connect to this device.  A 
When Association control  is checked, 
check  A will allow the corresponding 
client to associate to the wireless LAN.   
In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you to 
input the MAC address. 
 
You can select a specific client in the  “ DHCP clients ” Combobox, and 
then click on the  “Copy to ” button to copy the MAC address of the client 
you select to the ID selected in the  “ ID ” Combobox.

4.4.3 Packet Filtering 
   
 
Packet Filter  enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies 
on all outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or 
DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:  
1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules  
2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules 
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the 
following:  
·  Source IP address  
·  Source port address  
·  Destination IP address  
·  Destination port address  
·  Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.  
·  Use Rule#

For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP 
addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.  
For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add prefix 
T or U to specify TCP or UDP protocol, for example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both 
TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. 
Packet Filter can work with  Scheduling 
Rules , and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Details, please refer to  Scheduling Rule. 
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually. 
＊  Inbound Filter:  
To enable  Inbound Packet Filter  click the check box next to  Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter  field. 
Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server (80), FTP Server (21), and News 
Server (119) defined in Virtual Server or DMZ Host.
