¾Effective Time - This is the time or the range of time for the entry to take effect. For example, 1800 - 2200, it means that the entry will take effect from 18:00 to 22:00.

¾LAN IP - This is the LAN IP address or the range of LAN IP addresses in dotted-decimal notation format. For example, 192.168.1.20 - 192.168.1.30. Keep the field blank, which means all LAN IP addresses are controlled by the rule.

¾LAN Port - This is the LAN Port or the range of LAN ports in the field. For example, 1030 - 2000. Keep the field blank, which means all LAN ports are controlled by the rule.

¾WAN IP - This is the WAN IP address or the range of WAN IP addresses in dotted-decimal notation format. For example, 202.96.134.210 – 202.96.134.230. Keep the field blank, which means all WAN IP addresses are controlled by the rule.

¾Action - This field displays the action that the Router takes to deal with the traffic. Allow means that the Router allows the traffic through the Router, Deny means that the Router rejects the traffic through the router.

To add/modify an IP Address filtering entry:

For example: If you desire to block E-mail received and sent by the IP address 192.168.1.7 on your local network during the time of 1800 to 2200; And wish to make the PCs with IP addresses 192.168.1.8 to 192.168.1.12 unable to visit the website of IP address 202.96.134.12 all the day, while other PCs have no limit. You can configure the rules as follows.

Step 1: Enable the “Firewall” and “IP Address Filtering” on the Firewall screen (show in Figure 4-30),and then, you should select the Default IP Address Filtering Rule "Allow the

packets not specified by any filtering rules to pass through the router".
