Broadband ADSL Router User Guide

Advanced Internet Functions

•Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec- tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

•Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

•URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

•Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.

•Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.

•Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dy- namic IP address which changes every time you connect.

•VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

LAN Features

•4-Port Switching Hub. The TW100-BRM504 incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

•DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The TW100-BRM504 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

•Network Diagnostics. You can use the TW100-BRM504 to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.

Security Features

•Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech- nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the TW100-BRM504.

•Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

•Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-
