Encryption Level - Secures the data by a constant key (easy to decode) Passphrase - The password of the user top br> Firewall The CPE device provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ). top Discard PING from WAN side When this feature is enabled, hosts on the WAN cannot ping the CPE device. top Client Filtering You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. For example, one can configure the LAN clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 could be permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 can be blocked from browsing the Internet (i.e. HTTP Port 80) from Monday through Friday. top IPv6 Filtering top Packet Filtering You can block access to your box by providing details of the packets to be blocked. These parameters include any or all of source IP/port, Destination IP/port, Protocol, Ingress/egress interface. You should be carefull while configuring these rules, as this can render your box inaccessible! top URL Filtering top Parental Control You can block certain client PCs accessing the Internet based on MAC address. This can be also done for particular times during the day and particular days of the week. top Application Filtering You can prevent certain applications from accessing the internet. Just select the checkbox in front of the application that needs to be blocked, and enable the Main settings at the top of the page. top Application Server Settings You can prevent certain applications from accessing the internet. Just select the checkbox in front of the application that needs to be blocked, and enable the Main settings at the top of the page. top Access Control top NAT NAT (Network Address Translation) can be enabled or disabled through this option. top Port Triggering top Virtual Server If you configure the CPE device as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP address. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the CPE device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server. Example: Virtual DMZ Host If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort. top QoS Settings The CPE device provides IP-QoS for prioritizing the packet traffic to WAN links. The QoS functionality can be controlled (enable or disable) by selecting the option here. The default DSCP marking configuration marks the DSCP to selected level for all traffic which is not matching any QoS classification rules. top QoS Queue Config The queues for IP-QoS can be managed here. The lower numbers of precedence denote higher priority. It is recommended to use default pre-configured values of queues for getting optimum QoS in CPE device. top QoS Classifier Config The QoS flows are identified by classification stage of QoS. The packet header fields can be configured for matching the QoS rules. The classfication rules are looked upon in order so needs to be carefully added. It is required to associate an appropriate queue of precedence to classification entries for getting right QoS prioritization in CPE device. top IGMP SNOOPING IGMP Snooping is the ability by which multicast data (at Layer2 bridge layer) are not flooded but selectively forwarded only through interfaces on which there exist atleast one host interested in that multicast data. Snooping works in 2 modes, namely General mode = IGMPv2 Snooping only. Filter mode = IGMPv3 Snooping with backward compatibility for IGMPv2. Any one of the modes can be set at a given time. top IGMP PROXY IGMP Proxy enables multicast forwarding based upon IGMP multicast group membership information. The proxy builds this information by processing the group membership reports (i.e. IGMP Join/Leave messages) that a multicast host on the LAN side may send. IGMP Proxy supports configuration of more that one Routed WAN interfaces as its upstream interfaces. top IGMP ADVANCED Fast leave is the option by which a host receiving multicast data is removed immediately when it desires to no longer receive and requests to leave. If Fast Leave is not set, then the host will be removed after some interval. Group Query Interval is the interval between which the Proxy sends periodic IGMP queries. Group Query Response Interval is the maximum time within which an IGMP response is expected to be received by the Proxy after it has sent a query. Group Last Membership Query Interval is the MAX Response Time used to calculate the MAX Resp Code inserted into Group-Specific Queries sent by the Proxy in response to Leave Group messages. Group Last Membership Query Count is the number of Group-Specific Queries sent before the Proxy assumes there are no local members. top IPV6 top TR-069 and TR-064/UPnP This page allows you to configure parameters for managing the device through TR-069 and TR-064/UPnP. TR-069 Checkbox : Enables TR-069 feature for WAN side device management ACS URL : Auto Configuration Server (ACS) URL (e.g. http://www.acsvendor.com:2457/acs) ACS Username : Username to access the ACS ACS Password : Password to access the ACS CPE Username : Username used by ACS to access this CPE CPE Password : Password used by ACS to access this CPE TR-064/UPnP Checkbox : Enables TR-064 or UPnP feature for LAN side device management Connect to ACS button : Clicking on this button, system would send an Inform message with CONN_REQ event to the ACS top SNMP Settings - You can configure parameters for Simple Network Management Protocol running on your box. You should ideally not change these settings as doing so will affect your ISP's ability to access your box and help you solve your problems with the same. top GLOSSARY OF TERMS top DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the IPv4 settings of connected computer to CPE. top DNS Server
Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet
host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses.
A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective
domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested
into your Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address.
The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is
the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned. DSL Modem
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing
phone lines to transmit data at high speeds. Ethernet A
standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 100 million bits
per second (Mbps). IP Address
IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of
four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique
Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8. ISP Gateway
Address (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem. ISP
Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides
connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or
organizations. LAN Local
Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your
home network is considered a LAN. The LAN ports in device are of RJ48 type. MAC Address
MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware
address of a device connected to a network. NAT Network
Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the CPE device,
allows you to access the Internet from any
computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP
addresses from your ISP. PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a
method of secure data transmission originally created for dial-up
connections. PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. Subnet Mask A
subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by
your ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is
used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network
