[. . . ] User Guide WR850 Wireless Broadband Routers WR850GP and WR850G WR850G WR850GP WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THE UNIT MUST NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, ON THE UNIT. CAUTION: TO ENSURE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, USE ONLY THE PROVIDED POWER AND INTERFACE CABLES. [. . . ] There are two ways to do this: (1) The "manual" approach: Enter the Web-based Configuration Utility at the beginning and end of restriction periods to enable and disable continuous filters by checking and un-checking the Enabled boxes at the end of each line. (2) The "automated" approach: Use day and time settings on LAN Usage Filters, automatically engaging and suppressing the restrictions at desired times. For this example, we assume that: · the "automated" approach is desired, · there is one PC to be restricted, · the IP address assigned to that PC is 192. 168. 10. 4, and · the PC is to be restricted from 6 PM to 8 PM, Monday through Friday. Step 1: At LAN Usage Filters, under LAN IP Address Range, enter the IP address(es) of the PC(s) to be restricted. NOTE: If you intend to restrict multiple clients in the home, it is best to assign them consecutive IP addresses to allow you to enter a single LAN IP Address Range without disabling another client, while conserving LAN Usage Filters at the same time. Step 2: Under Protocol, alternate TCP and UDP on each line. 3-32 WR850 Configuration Section 3 Step 3: Under Destination Port Range, enter the entire port range (0 through 65535) on each line. Step 4: Under From Day and To Day, select the first day the restrictions should be in place, and then the first day the restrictions should no longer be in place. If a filtering period begins and ends on the same day, the same day should be entered in From Day and To Day. If that same filtering period is repeated on multiple days, you should enter each day on a pair of filter lines: Step 5: Under From Hour and To Hour, select the start and stop times of the restrictions that will be in place. WR850 3-33 Section 3 Configuration Step 6: At the end of each line, check the Enabled box to engage the filters. Step 7: At the bottom of the page, click the Apply action button. Blocking Specific Types of Internet Use at Particular Times When using the LAN Usage Filters, you have the additional opportunity to establish Internet controls on specific ports. Since some Internet applications will open and close specific ports in order to function, you can block the use of those applications by specific client PCs by blocking the use of those ports by those PCs. For this example, we assume that: · · · · there is one PC to be restricted, the IP address assigned to that PC is 192. 168. 10. 4, the PC is to be restricted from using an Internet game Monday through Friday, all day, and the Internet game to be restricted requires port 28910 for TCP communications. Step 1: At LAN Usage Filters, under LAN IP Address Range, enter the IP address(es) of the PC(s) to be restricted. NOTE: If you intend to restrict multiple clients in the home, it is best to assign them consecutive IP addresses, to allow you to enter a single LAN IP Address Range without disabling another client, while conserving LAN Usage Filters at the same time. 3-34 WR850 Configuration Section 3 Step 2: Under Protocol, select the protocol which applies to the communications to be restricted. Step 3: Under Destination Port Range, enter the port(s) to be restricted. Step 4: Under From Day and To Day, select the first day the restrictions should be in place, and then the first day the restrictions should no longer be in place. Step 5: Under From Hour and To Hour, select the start and stop times of the restrictions that will be in place. Step 6: At the end of each line, check the Enabled box to engage the filters. Step 7: At the bottom of the page, click the Apply action button. WR850 3-35 Section 3 The ROUTING Configuration Page Configuration This page allows you to configure port forwarding and triggering rules for your WR850. These rules can allow specific clients on your local network to run and share certain programs that use the Internet. Figure 3-5 ROUTING Page 3-36 WR850 Configuration ROUTING Page ­ Commonly Used Configuration Options Section 3 None of the configuration options on the ROUTING Page typically require any adjustment from factory defaults, to support most typical uses of the WR850 as a wired/wireless router. Therefore, none of the configuration options on the ROUTING Page are highlighted in white. ROUTING Page configuration options are provided primarily for advanced users. ROUTING Page ­ All Configuration Options Field DMZ IP Address: (ADVANCED) Description Sets one device on your local network (specified by IP address) to be a De-militarized Zone (DMZ). A DMZ receives all broadband communication requests that might otherwise be blocked by the router's firewall, as is often needed for real-time Internet gaming. Leave this field blank if no DMZ is desired. NOTE: This setting is only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) Port Forwards: (ADVANCED) Sets rules for forwarding inbound broadband communications, destined to specific WAN ports, to specific clients on your local network (specified by IP address). You may optionally specify a destination port range, on the LAN side of the WR850, as well. This feature can be particularly useful to support a web server, or other special service, on your local network. NOTE: These settings are only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router. You can store up to 20 port forwarding rules, and selectively enable one or more of them when desired, using the Enabled checkbox at the end of each row. NOTE: Port forwards will be applied in the order in which they are listed on this page. For each port forward, the following 3 items can be entered: (1) WAN Port Range: These two fields ("Start" and "End") define a range of WAN ports that will be monitored as part of the port forward. (continued on next page) WR850 3-37 Section 3 Configuration Port Forwards: (continued) To forward communications from a single port, enter the same port number in both fields. This information must be entered for each port forward. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) (2) LAN IP Address: Sets the client on your local network (specified by IP address) to which communications will be forwarded. This information must be entered for each port forward. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) (3) LAN Port Range: These two fields ("Start" and "End") define a range of LAN ports to which communications will be forwarded. To forward to a single port, enter the same port number in both fields. This information is optional for each port forward. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) Port Triggers: (ADVANCED) Sets rules for forwarding inbound communications (from your broadband connection) based on specific outbound communications (or "triggers") from a LAN client. Specifically, if a LAN client transmits to the Internet using any of a set of outbound destination ports, they will be forwarded Internet responses that are received on a corresponding set of inbound destination ports. [. . . ] TCP/IP The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite provides standards and rules for data communication between networks on the Internet. It is the worldwide Internetworking standard and the basic communications protocol of the Internet. 5-10 WR850 Glossary Tunnel Section 5 To place packets inside other packets to send over a network. The protocol of the enclosing packet is understood by each endpoint, or tunnel interface, where the packet enters and exits the network. VPNs rely on tunneling to create a secure network. [. . . ]
