 7 Virtual Server
7.1 Port Range Forwarding

 Start/End port: Enter the start/end port number which ranges the
External ports used to set the server or Internet applications.
 LAN IP: Enter the IP address of the PC which you want to set as the
server.
 Protocol: Select the protocol (TCP/UDP/Both) for the application. If
you are not clear about the protocol you are using, you can select
“Both”.
 Enable: Click the Enable checkbox to bring the set rule into effect.
 Delete: Clear all settings of this item.
 Well-known service port: The well-known protocol ports are listed
in the drop-down list. Select one and select a sequence number in

47
 the ID drop-down list and then click “Add”, this port will be added
automatically to the ID list. For other well known service ports that
are not listed, you can manually add them to the list.
 Add to: Add the selected well-known port to the policy ID.
For Example: You want to share some large files with your friends outside
of your local area network, however, they are too big, and it’s not
convenient to transfer them. Then, you can build a FTP server on your
computer and set the router’s port range forwarding to enable your friends
to access to these files on your computer. Suppose that your FTP server or
your computer’s static IP address is 192.168.1.10, and you wish your
friends can access the server through the default port 21 and adopts TCP
protocol.

Please follow the steps below to configure.

1.Enter 21 in both start port and end port fields, or you can also select FTP
from the well-known service port and its port 21 will be added to the
corresponding field automatically.
2. Enter 192.168.1.10 in the LAN IP column, and then select “Both” as the
protocol and select “Enable”.
3. As the picture shown below.

48
4. Click the “Ok” button to save the settings.
And now, when your friends want to visit the FTP server, they only need to
enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in the address field. Here, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
means the router’s WAN IP address. For example, when your router’s
WAN IP address is 210.242.6.221; your friends need to enter
ftp://210.242.6.221:21 in the address field.

NOTE:
If you set the service port of the virtual server as 80, you must set the Web
management port on Remote Web Management screen to be any value
except 80 such as 8080. Otherwise, there will be a conflict to disable the
virtual server.

49
7.2 DMZ Settings
The DMZ Settings screen allows one local computer to be exposed to the
Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or
videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one PC.

 DMZ Host IP Address: The IP address of the LAN computer you

want to set as DMZ host.
 Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host.

For example:
Set the computer at the IP address of 192.168.1.10 as DMZ host to
connect another host on the Internet for intercommunication.

NOTE:
When the DMZ host is enabled, the firewall settings of the DMZ host will
not function.

7.3 UPNP Settings

56
 9 Routing Settings
9.1 Routing Table
This page shows the router’s core routing table.

The main duty for a router is to look for a best path for every data packet,
and transfer this data packet to a destination station. In order to fulfill this
function, many transferring paths, i.e. routing table, are saved in the router,
for choosing when needed.

9.2 Static Routing

This screen is used to set the router’s static routing.
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must
travel to reach a specific host or network.

 Destination network IP address: The destination host or IP

segment you visit.
 Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is 255.255.255.0

57
 Gateway: The entry IP address of the next router.

NOTE:
1. The gateway must be at the same net segment with the router’s LAN IP.
2. If the destination IP address is a host address, then the subnet mask
must be 255.255.255.255.
3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it must match with
the subnet mask. For example, if the destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the
subnet mask must be 255.0.0.0

58
 10 System Tools
10.1 Time Settings
This section is to configure the router’s system time. You can set it
manually or obtain the GMT time from the Internet.

 Time zone: Select the time zone where you are operating the
Router from the drop-down list.
 Customized time: Enter the time you wish to configure.

NOTE:
When the Router is powered off, the time settings will be lost. The router
will obtain the GMT time automatically when you next time access the
Internet. Only when you connect to the Internet and obtain the GMT time or
set the time on this screen, can the time settings in other functions (e.g.
security settings) take effect.

10.2 DDNS
The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is supported in this Router. It
is used to assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP
address. Every time you access the Internet, the dynamic domain name
software installed on your host will tell the ISP’S host server its dynamic IP
address by sending messages. And the server software is responsible for

59
providing DNS service and implementing dynamic domain name
resolution.

 Main features:
1. Mostly, your ISP provides a dynamic IP address and the DDNS is
used to capture the changeable IP address and match to the fixed
domain. Then users can have access to the Internet to communicate
with others outside the network.
2. DDNS can help you to establish a virtual host in your home or
company.
 DDNS: Click the radio button to enable or disable the DDNS service.
 Service provider: Select one from the drop-down list and click
“Sign up” for registration.
 Username: Enter the username that you use to register from the
DDNS provider
 Password: Enter the password that you use to register from the
DDNS provider
 Domain name: Enter the effective registered domain name
For example:
Establish a Web server in the local host 192.168.1.10 and register in
3322.org as follows:
Username Micronet
Password 123456
Domain Name Micronet.3322.org
After mapping the port in the virtual server, and setting account information
in DDNS server, you can then access the web page by entering
http://micronet.3322.org in the address field.

 Appendix 1 Glossary
Channel:
An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units
(PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space,
with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances
of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error
ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.
SSID:
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared by all devices in a
wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network
and identical for all devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and
must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the
keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your
wireless network.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption:
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic
foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key
similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes
dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to
learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second
generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism
through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for
some government users.
802,1x authentication
Static WEP key is difficult to manage for when you change the key, you will
have to inform all others, and if the key is disclosed in one of the places,
the key can no longer provide security. Besides, there’s severe security
loophole about static WEP encryption. The WEP key can be decrypted
after one person receives a specific amount of data via wireless
intercepting. 802,1x is initially used for wired Ethernet authentication
access to prevent illegal users from accessing the network. Later, it is
found that 802.1x can better solve the wireless network security problem.
EAP-TLS of the 802.1x successfully achieves the two-way authentication
between users and networks, i.e. can prevent illegal users from accessing
the network and can also prevent users from accessing the illegal AP.
802.1x utilizes dynamic WEP encryption to protect the WEP key from
67
being decrypted. To solve the publishing problem for digital certification,
people make some changes to TLS authentication and TTLS and EAP
come into exist, which enable you to access the network by using the
traditional way of authentication: username and password.
