Configuring the 802. 11g 54Mbps Router
NAT - Network Address Translation From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/UDP port openings in the router's firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as web, email, FTP, and Telnet. Address Mapping
Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP.

Advanced Setup
Virtual Server
If you configure the 802. 11g 54Mbps Router 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 addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the 802. 11g 54Mbps Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192. 168. 2. 2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192. 168. 2. 2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. The more common TCP service ports include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110

Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires.

Advanced Setup
Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and then choose a row number to copy this data into. Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will overwrite the current settings.

Configuring the 802. 11g 54Mbps Router Firewall
The 802. 11g 54Mbps Router firewall can provide access control of connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users. (Firewall must be enabled in order to access additional settings. ) Note: You must click the Apply button, located in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, for your changes to take affect.
Access Control
Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs. Note: Any PCs configured with Firewall rules need to be added in the Access Control Table.

Advanced Setup
Note: Click Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown in the following screen).
MAC Filtering Table
The MAC Filtering feature of the 802. 11g 54Mbps Router allows you to control access to your network for up to 32 clients based on the
43
