The Ping Test is used to
send Ping packets to test
if a computer is on the In-
ternet. Enter the IP Address
that you wish to Ping, and
click Ping.
If you choose to block WAN
Ping, the WAN IP Address of
the DI-524 will not respond
to pings. Blocking the Ping
may provide some extra
security from hackers.
The DI-524 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-
through for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and
IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there
is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections
can be made through the DI-524. This is useful when you have
many VPN clients on the LAN network.
Click Reboot to restart the
DI-524.
Click Enabled to block the
WAN ping.

Mode, click Enabled. If you are not using a Gaming application, it is

Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing IP Address. This is a useful feature since many
computers do not use a static IP address.
