Ping Test

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.

Block WAN Ping

Discard Ping from WAN side If you choose to block

 

WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI-524UP will

 

not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide

 

some extra security from hackers. Click Enabled to

 

block the WAN ping.

SPI Mode

SPI or Stateful Packet Inspection is a type of firewall

 

that protects your network against hacker attacks by

 

analyzing packets to ensure that only authorized

 

packets will be allowed to enter your network. To

 

enable this function, click the Enabled radio button.

 

This function is enabled by default.

IGMP Proxy

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

 

snooping allows the Router to recognize IGMP queries

 

and reports sent between PCs on your LAN and an

 

IGMP host. When the IGMP Proxy is enabled, the

 

Router can open or close a port to a specific PC based

 

on IGMP messages passing through the Router.

UPNP Settings

You may enable the Universal Plug n’ Play function

 

here by clicking the Enabled radio button.

VPN Pass-Through

The DI-524UP 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-524UP. This is useful when you have

 

many VPN clients on the LAN network.

 

PPTP

Select enabled or disabled.

 

IPSec

Select enabled or disabled.

WAN Select

This section allows the user to set the wire speed over

 

which the router will transmit packets. The user has

 

three options:

100 Mbps – Clicking this radio button will set the wire speed at 100 megabytes per second.

10 Mbps – Clicking this radio button will set the wire speed at 10 megabytes per second.
