Pass

Through-

Gaming mode allows a form of pass-through for certain Internet Games. If you are using Xbox, Playstation2 or a PC, make sure you are using the latest firmware and Gaming Mode is enabled. To utilize Gaming Mode, click Enabled. If you are not using a Gaming application, it is recommended that you Disable Gaming Mode.

Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing IP Address. This is a useful feature since many
computers do not use a static IP address.
The VDI-624 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec
(IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no
need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can
be made through the VDI-624. This is useful when you have many
VPN clients on the LAN network.
PPTP- select Enabled or Disabled
IPSec- select Enabled or Disabled	34
