The Ping Test is used to send Ping packets to test if a computer is on the Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping, and click Ping.

Click Reboot to restart the DI-624M.

If you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI-624M will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide some extra security from hackers.

Discard Ping from WAN side: Click Enabled to block the WAN ping.

To use the Universal Plug and Play feature click on Enabled. UPNP provides compatibility with networking equipment, software and peripherals of the over 400 vendors that cooperate in the Plug and Play forum.

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 DI-624M 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 DI-624M. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the LAN network.
