Page 32 Configuring Other Routers on your LAN All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be forwarded to the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY so that it can be forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other Routers to use the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY as the Default Route or Default Gateway , as illustrated by the example below.
Page 33 Address Network Mask 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) Gateway IP Address 192.168.1.100 Interface LAN Metric 3 For Router A's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.0.0.0 Network Mask 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.1.1 Metric 2 For Router B's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.
Page 34 Virtual Server This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server's IP address is only valid on your LAN, not on the Internet.
Page 35 to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address. e.g. http://my_domain_ name.dyndns.o rg ftp://my_domain_n ame.
Page 36 Each Host (server) must be running the appropriate Server software WAN – This selection allows this server to bind to any WAN port (1-8), or even bind to all WAN ports together. • LAN Port Range – Enter the range of port number used for outgoing traffic from this Server.
Page 37 Special Application If you use Internet applications which have non-st andard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the firewall in the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application" in order to make it work.
Page 38 Buttons • Add – Create a new Special Application entry. • Delete – Delete the selected entry. • Update – Save any changes you have made to the current entry. • Cancel – Cancel any changes you hav e made since the last saved operation.
Page 39 Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address.
Page 40 Settings – Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS Service This pull-down menu can Enable/Disable the Dynamic DNS feature and select the required service provider. • Disable – Dynamic DNS is not used. • TZO – Select this to use the TZO service (www.
Page 41 Multi DMZ This feature allows each WAN port IP address to be associated with one (1) computer on your LAN. All outgoing traffic from that PC will be associated with that WAN port IP address.
Page 42 UPnP Setup With the UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) function, you can easily setup and configure an entire network as well as enable detection and control of networked devices and service s. Figure 4-9: UPnP Setup Settings – UPnP Setup UPnP Option If set to Enable UPnP , this device will register on the local network.
Page 43 NAT Setup NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology which allows one (1) WAN (Internet) IP address to be used by multiple LAN users. Figure 4-10: NAT Setup Settings – NAT Setup NAT Configuration • NAT Routing – You can enable or disable NAT through the check box.
Page 44 Non-Translation Port Range If some packets whose port number cannot be translated for special applications, you must set state to “Enable” and input value in port range. Alternatively, if its port cannot be translated in the specif ied time period, you must set Enable and enter a seconds value in Timeout.
Page 45 Advanced Feature • External Filters Configuration – These settings determine whether the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY should respond to ICMP (ping) requests received from the WAN port or not. • Interface Binding – Use these settings to ensure that certain traffic is sent by a particular WAN port and thereby a particular ISP account.
Page 46 Settings – Advanced Feature External Filters Configuration • IDENT Port – Port 113 is associated with the Internet's (Identification / Authentication) service.
