4-Port Router (Model 2400)

 

 

 

 

setting requires that this connection must be manually established through the

 

“homepage” connection button. When this is set to auto, the Router will monitor

 

 

the network traffic and determine when a connection needs to be made. The

 

 

connection process will happen automatically the “Always ON” selection causes

 

 

the Router to aggressively establish a connection with your ISP. Whenever the

 

 

Router detects that the connection to your ISP is down, it will try to re-establish

 

 

that connection.

 

Time Out

Selecting this option will enable the disconnect timeout. If this option is enabled

 

Enable/Connection Time

the Router will monitor the ISP connection for activity. If there is no activity for

 

Out

the timeout period, the Router will disconnect from the ISP.

 

Edit VC Connection

This screen is an advanced screen. Modifying parameters identified on this

 

 

screen can cause severe disruption of your service. VC stands for “Virtual

 

 

Connection.” A VC identifies a connection through the service provider’s ATM

 

 

network to your ISP. It is not recommended that you change anything on these

 

 

pages unless explicitly instructed by your service provider.

Firewall Settings

This screen is an advanced configuration screen. It allows you to set the level of security you wish to have on your local network. All security levels except “None” protect against known Internet attacks and devices that attempt to gain remote access to your Router. The following settings are displayed.

 

Firewall Settings

High

This security level only allows basic Internet functionality. Only Mail, News,

 

Web, FTP, and IPSEC are allowed. No other traffic is allowed. Another

 

restriction of high security is that it can’t be modified by NAT configuration

 

options. With High security, you are guaranteed to only pass the previously

 

mentioned traffic.

Medium

This security level only allows basic Internet functionality by default. Like High

 

security, Medium security, allows customization through NAT configuration, so

 

you can enable the traffic that you want to pass.

Low

The low security setting will allow all traffic except for known attacks. With

 

low security, your Router is visible by other computers on the Internet.

Custom

Custom is a very advanced configuration option that allows you to edit the

 

firewall configuration directly. Only the most expert users should try this.
