Service Filtering

The Service Filtering feature lets you give certain users permission to access the X5v from outside the network—that is, over the Internet. If you enable one of the services listed on this page, the X5v’s firewall will open up the appropriate port to allow the service to work.

PING from External Network

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow an external user to

 

ping your X5v. This can be

 

useful if you need to

 

troubleshoot your unit.

 

 

FTP from External Network*

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow an external user to ftp

 

into your X5v. Typically, you

 

would do this if you wanted

 

someone to check the X5v’s

 

configuration.

 

 

DNS from External Network

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow your X5v to accept

 

DNS requests from an external

 

source.

 

 

IKE from External Network

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow a VPN (virtual private

 

network) connection to your

 

network.

 

 

RIP from External Network

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow your X5v to receive

 

RIP (Routing Information

 

Protocol) requests from an

 

external source. The Technical

 

Reference Manual contains

 

details about RIP; go to

 

www.zoom.com

 

 

DHCP from External Network

Disabled by default. Enable it

 

to allow your X5v to receive

 

DHCP requests from an

 

external source.

 

 

*Important: To complete the step of allowing remote users to FTP into the X5v, you must go to the X5v’s Advanced Setup
