For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP Web server request Configuring a User Defined Service Configuring Service Blocking by IP Address RangeScheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced Viewing Logs of Web Access or Attempted Web Access Refresh Content FilteringLog action buttons are described in Table Click this button to refresh the log screenConfiguring E-Mail Alert and Web Access Log Notifications Day for sending log Chapter Maintenance Viewing Router Status InformationRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual MaintenanceThis screen shows the following parameters Router Status FieldsRelease MaintenanceThis screen shows the following statistics Click the Release button to release the DHCP leaseRouter Statistics Items MaintenanceRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual v3.1, JuneConfiguration File Management Viewing a List of Attached DevicesRestoring and Backing Up the Configuration Erasing the Configuration Upgrading the Router SoftwareChanging the Administrator Password Maintenance To change the password 1.
