Operation and Status

This Chapter details the operation of the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router and the status screens.

Operation

Once both the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router and the PCs are configured, operation is automatic.

However, there are some situations where additional Internet configuration may be required:

If using Internet-based Conferencing & Telephony applications, it may be necessary to specify which PC receives an incoming connection. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Fea- tures for further details.

Applications that use non-standard connections or port numbers may be blocked by the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router's built-in firewall. You can define such applica- tions as Special Applications to allow them to function normally. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details.

Some non-standard applications may require use of the DMZ feature. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details.
