Operation and Status

This Chapter details the operation of the DSL/Cable Router and the status screens.

Operation

Once both the DSL/Cable Router and the PCs are configured, operation is automatic.

However, there are some situations where additional Internet configuration may be required:

If using Internet-based Conferencing & Telephony applications, it may be necessary to specify which PC receives an incoming connection. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Fea- tures for further details.

Applications that use non-standard connections or port numbers may be blocked by the DSL/Cable Router's built-in firewall. You can define such applications as Special Appli- cations to allow them to function normally. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details.

Some non-standard applications may require use of the DMZ feature. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details.
