Advanced Features

NAT – NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology which allows a number of LAN PCs to share one (1) Internet IP address.

Remote Access Configuration – This feature allows you to manage the XC-DPG503 via the Internet. You can restrict access to a specified IP address or address range.

External Filters Configuration – These settings determine whether or not the XC-DPG503 should respond to ICMP (ping) requests received from the WAN port.

Interface Binding – Use these to ensure that certain traffic is sent by a particular WAN port, and thereby a particular ISP account. These settings are only useful if using both WAN ports. Protocol & Port Binding – This allows you binding WAN 1 or WAN 2 ports by selecting TCP/UDP protocol

Settings - Advanced Features

NAT Configuration

NAT Routing – NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology which allows one (1) WAN (Internet) IP address to be used by many LAN users.

 

- If you disable NAT, Internet access is only possible if all PCs are configured with valid Internet IP addresses. (The XC-DPG503 needs 2 addresses: 1 for the LAN port and 1 for the WAN port.)

 

- NAT is disabled only when you wish to use the XC-DPG503 as a Static Router.

 

TCP Timeout – Enter the desired value to use on both WAN ports. The default is 300.

 

UDP Timeout – Enter the desired value to use on both WAN ports. The default is 120.

 

TCP Window Limit – Enter the desired value to use on both WAN ports. The default is 0 (no limit).

 

TCP MSS Limit – Enter the required MSS (Maximum Segment Size) to use on both WAN ports. The default is 0 (no limit).

 

Disable Port Translation – Enter the desired port range of all packets which are not translated via WAN port.

Remote Access Configuration

Remote Upgrade – If enabled, you can u

 

Remote Web-based setup – If enabled, access to the Web-based interface is available via the Internet. If not enabled, access is only available to PCs on the LAN.

 

Port – The port number used when connecting remotely. See below for details.

 

Allowed IP range – Remote access is only available to the IP addresses entered here.

 

- Leaving these fields blank will allow access by all PCs.

 

- These addresses must be Internet IP addresses and not addresses on the local LAN.

 

- To specify a single address, enter it in both fields.

External Filters Configuration

These settings determine whether or not the XC-DPG503 should respond to ICMP (ping) requests received from the WAN port.

 

Block Selected packet types – This acts as “master” switch. If checked, the selected packet types are blocked. Otherwise, they are accepted.

 

Echo Request, Timestamp Request – Select the packet types you wish to block, using the checkboxes.

Dynamic Routing

RIP v2 – This acts as “master” switch. If enabled, the selected WAN or LAN will run RIPv1/v2.

 

LAN, WAN1, WAN2 – When enabled, any WAN or LAN can execute RIP function.

DNS Loopback

Some servers on a LAN and their domain names have already registered on public DNS. To avoid DNS loopback problem, enter the following fields.

 

Domain Name – Enter the domain name specified by you for local host/server.

 

Private IP – Enter the private IP address of your local host/server.

Interface Binding

SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) Binding (This applies only when using E-mail accounts from different ISPs on each port)

 

Some ISPs configure their E-mail Servers so they will not accept E-mail from IP addresses not allocated by themselves. If you are using accounts from different ISPs, sending E-mail over the wrong

 

port may result in non-acceptance of the mail. In this case, you can use these settings to correct the problem.

 

Enable - When enabled, the port you specify below will be used for all outgoing SMTP traffic. If not enabled, either port will be used.

 

WAN 1 / WAN 2 – Select the desired port.

Protocol & Port Binding

Use these settings if you wish to ensure user-defined traffic to be sent by a specific WAN port. This allows that user-defined traffic to be handled by a designated ISP account.

 

Enable - Enable or disable each item as required.

 

Source IP - IP address of source which packets are sent from.

 

Destination IP – IP address of destination which packets are sent to.

 

Subnet Mask – With subnet mask other than 255.255.255.255, you can make a IP sub-network as your destination.

 

Protocol - Select the protocol used by the traffic you wish to configure.

 

Port Range - Enter the beginning and end of the port range used by the traffic you wish to configure. If only a single port is used, enter the port number in both fields.

 

WAN - Select the port you wish this traffic to use.
