Internet Protocol Tab
Please check with your service provider for these settings. If you are unsure of the
settings, leave the default values set and click the Apply button.
If your service provider has instructed you to change any of these settings, be sure to
click the Apply button when you are finished.
Firewall Tab
A firewall helps to protect your home network from unauthorized access. It will also
help to manage authorized access from the internet to your CPE.
The Enable Web Login from Internet and the Enable Ping from Internet options are by
default turned off. This is because these options allow unknown users to access your
computer via the internet, and this is not safe.
You may need to turn these options on if there is a problem with your CPE/Internet
Connection. Turning these options on will allow your service provider access to your
computer to troubleshoot any problems. Remember to enter the number of the port
that is allowed to access your computer if these options are turned on.
Be sure to click the Apply button once you are finished.
Dynamic DNS Tab
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) allows a user with a non-static IP address to
keep their domain name associated with an ever changing IP address. As an example,
DDNS is used when you are hosting your own website.
