Tools > Misc

Ping Test:

This diagnostic utility can be used to check if a computer is on the Internet. It sends ping packets and listens for replies from the specific host.

Reboot:

Click Reboot to restart the unit.

Block WAN Ping:

Click Enable to block the WAN ping. Computers on the Internet will not get a reply back from the DI-704UP when it is being “ping”ed. This may help to increase security.

SPI Mode:

Stateful Packet Inspection is a form of firewall protection that will inspect all of the pack- ets transmitted through the DI-704UP. It carefully inspects all incoming packets and if the packets contain suspicious information, it will automatically drop those packets.

UPnP Setting:

Universal Plug and Play is a feature that is preset to allow certain popular applications such as MSN messenger to be functional using the router without making any configura- tions. By default, theUPnP Setting is set to enable. It is recommended to keep the UPnP Setting on enable.

VPN Pass Through:

For users who telecommute or use Virtual Private Network (VPN), you can select PPTP or IPSec to be used with this router.

Non-standard FTP port:

If an FTP server you want to access is not using the standard port 21, then enter in the port number that the FTP server is using instead.
