tion.
4.5.2 Packet filter
Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass
the router. Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However,
Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ
host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:
• Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules
• Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For
each rule, you can define the following:
• Source IP address
• Source port address
• Destination IP address
• Destination port address
• Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
• Use Rule#
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address
(4.3.2.1) or a range of IP addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty
implies all IP addresses.
For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a
range of ports (1000-1999). Add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP
protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both
TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. Packet
Filter can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility
on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule.
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
4.5.2.1 Inbound Filter:
To enable Inbound Packet Filter click the Inbound filter button and
check box next to Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter field.
Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server
(80), FTP Server (21), and News Server (119) defined in Virtual Server
or DMZ Host.

4.5.3 MAC CTRL (MAC address access control)
MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for
different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC ad-
dress.
• MAC Address Control: Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Ad-
dress Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only
when “Enable” is checked.
• Connection control: Check "Connection control" to enable the
controlling of which wired can connect to this device. If a client is
denied to connect to this device, it means the client can't access
to the Internet either. Choose "allow" or "deny" to allow or deny
the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in the "Control table"
(please see below), to connect to this device.
4.5.3.1 Controltable
"Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control"
page. Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected
IP address mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table:
MAC Address
MAC address indicates a specific client.
IP Address Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it
empty if you don't care its IP address.
C When "Connection control" is checked, check "C" will

In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you
to input the MAC address.
You can select a specific client in the “DHCP clients” Combobox, and
then click on the “Copy to” button to copy the MAC address of the client
you select to the ID selected in the “ID” Combobox.
Previous page and Next Page: To make this setup page simple and
clear, we have divided the “Control table” into several pages. You can
use these buttons to navigate to different pages.
4.5.4 Misc.
Remote Administrator Host/Port
In general, only Intranet user can browse the built-in web pages to
perform administration task. This feature enables you to perform ad-
ministration task from remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the
specified IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified
IP address is 0.0.0.0, any host can connect to this product to perform
administration task. You can use subnet mask bits "/nn" notation to
specified a group of trusted IP addresses. For example, "10.1.2.0/24".
NOTE: When Remote Administration is enabled, the web server port will
be shifted to 88. You can change web server port to other port, too.

VPN PPTP/IPSec Pass-Through
Please enable this feature, if you need to establish a PPTP or IPSEC
connection that will pass through this device.
4.6 Advanced settings
4.6.1 Virtual Servers
This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect
your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside
world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling
the Virtual Server Mapping.
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this
port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP.
Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more
flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling
Rule.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a
Web server (port 80) at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at
192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server
mapping table:
Service Port Server IP Enable
21 192.168.123.1 V
80 192.168.123.2 V
1723 192.168.123.6 V
4.6.2 Special Applications
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games,
Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall
function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The
Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work
with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make
an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead.
• Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application..
• Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the in-
bound packets sent to the specified port numbers are allowed to
pass through the firewall.
This product provides some predefined settings Select your application
and click Copy to to add the predefined setting to your list.
Note: At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application
tunnel.
4.6.3 Misc

The recipients who will receive these logs. You can assign more than 1
recipient, using ';' or ',' to separate these email addresses.
4.6.6 DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic
domain name service (DDNS).
So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name
of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP
address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service
provider.
Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on
one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in provider field.
To enable Dynamic DNS click the check box next to Enable in the

Linux Clients
To access the Internet via the DC-202, it is only necessary to set the
DC-202 as the "Gateway".
Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any
changes.

continue using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your
configuration.
