Chapter 4 - Advanced Broadband Router

Configuration

The default configuration of the Broadband Router will stop most

unrecognized information from entering your network. The only IP
Address visible to the outside Internet is the IP address of the Broadband
Router. Some applications and services require special configuration in
order to operate correctly with the Internet. Your Broadband Router
provides additional features such as:

Virtual Server: Allows services such as e-mail, FTP, or Web hosting

servers to operate correctly. It is recommended that separate computers run
each service.

Special Applications: Allows games and video conferencing

applications to operate correctly.

Access Control: Allows the definition of access rights and security

policies by groups. For example, you may want certain users to have
access to the Internet while others cannot. Or you can block certain
services such as FTP for certain users.

Wireless: Allows wireless network adapters to access the Internet

through the Wireless Broadband Router.

Miscellaneous Items: Allows the unrestricted, two-way

communication for one computer or user on your network, and allows one
remote computer to have access to the Broadband Router.
