70
· Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system where one public
IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet access to network clients with a
private IP address in a LAN. The private IP address of each network client is
saved in a NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.
· Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several devices (such as
routers, televisions, stereo systems, game consoles, and cellular phone), to
be controlled via an IP-based network with or without a central control
through a gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless
network for remote configuration and data transfer. Using UPnP, a new network
device is discovered automatically. Once connected to the network, devices can
be remotely configured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming, video
conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port forwarding, which involves
manually configuring port settings, UPnP automatically configures the router
to accept incoming connections and direct requests to a specific PC on the
local network.
· Connect to DNS Server automatically: Allows this router to get the DNS IP
address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on the Internet that
translates Internet names to numeric IP addresses.
· Authentication: This item may be specified by some ISPs. Check with your ISP
and fill them in if required.

minimize response time and prevent data overload for both primary and
secondary WAN connections.
73
4.3.3 Port Trigger Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port
for a limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network makes
an outgoing connection to a specified port. Port triggering is used in the
following scenarios: · More than one local client needs port forwarding for
the
same application at a different time. · An application requires specific
incoming ports that are
different from the outgoing ports.
To set up Port Trigger: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings
WAN
Port Trigger tab. 2. On the Enable Port Trigger field, tick Yes. 3. On the Well-Known Applications field, select the popular
games and web services to add to the Port Trigger List.
74
4. On the Trigger Port List table, key in the following information: ·
Description: Enter a short name or description for the service. · Trigger
Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port. · Protocol: Select the
protocol, TCP, or UDP. · Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive
inbound data from the Internet. · Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
5. Click the Add to enter the port trigger information to the list. Click the
Delete button to remove a port trigger entry from the list.
6. When done, click Apply.
NOTES: · When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an outgoing
connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server responds by
verifying the username and creating a new connection to the client PC using an
incoming port. · If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection
because it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access. When
Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to receive the
inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specific time period has
elapsed because the router is unsure when the application has been terminated.
· Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use a particular
service and a specific incoming port at the same time. · You cannot use the
same application to trigger a port in more than one PC at the same time. The
router will only forward the port back to the last computer to send the router
a request/trigger.
75
4.3.4 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding Port forwarding is a method to direct
network traffic from the Internet to a specific port or a specific range of
ports to a device or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to access specific
services provided by a PC in your network.
NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks unsolicited
inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies from outbound
requests from the LAN. The network client does not have access to the Internet
directly, and vice versa.
To set up Port Forwarding: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced
Settings > WAN
Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab. 2. On the Enable Port Forwarding field, tick Yes.
76
3. On the Famous Server List field, select the type of service you want to
access.
4. On the Famous Game List field, select the popular game that you want to
access. This item lists the port required for your selected popular online
game to work properly.
5. On the Port Forwarding List table, key in the following information: ·
Service Name: Enter a service name. · Port Range: If you want to specify a
Port Range for clients on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the Local Port empty.
Port range accepts various formats such as Port Range (300:350), individual
ports (566,789) or Mix (1015:1024,3021).
NOTES: · When your network’s firewall is disabled and you set 80 as the HTTP
server’s port range for your WAN setup, then your http server/web server would
be in conflict with the router’s web user interface. · A network makes use of
ports in order to exchange data, with each port assigned a port number and a
specific task. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP. A specific port can only
be used by one application or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting to
access data through the same port at the same time would fail. For example,
you cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for two PCs at the same time.
· Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding
work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.
77
· Local Port: Enter a specific port to receive forwarded packets. Leave this
field blank if you want the incoming packets to be redirected to the specified
port range.
· Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.
5. Click the Add to enter the port trigger information to the list. Click the
Delete button to remove a port trigger entry from the list.
6. When done, click Apply.
To check if Port Forwarding has been configured successfully: · Ensure that
your server or application is set up and running. · You will need a client
outside your LAN but has Internet
access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not be connected
to the ASUS router. · On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to
access the server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be able
to access the files or applications.
Differences between port trigger and port forwarding: · Port triggering will
work even without setting up a specific
LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a static LAN IP
address, port triggering allows dynamic port forwarding using the router.
Predetermined port ranges are configured to accept incoming connections for a
limited period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers to run
applications that would normally require manually forwarding the same ports to
each PC on the network. · Port triggering is more secure than port forwarding
since the incoming ports are not open all the time. They are opened only when
an application is making an outgoing connection through the trigger port.
78
4.3.4 DMZ
Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this client to
receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area Network. Inbound
traffic from the Internet is usually discarded and routed to a specific client
only if port forwarding or a port trigger has been configured on the network.
In a DMZ configuration, one network client receives all inbound packets.
Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming ports open or you
want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server. CAUTION: Opening all the ports
on a client to the Internet makes the network vulnerable to outside attacks.
Please be aware of the security risks involved in using DMZ.
To set up DMZ: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN
DMZ tab. 2. Configure the setting below. When done, click Apply. · IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP
address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP address.
To remove DMZ: 1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of
Exposed Station text box. 2. When done, click Apply.
79
4.3.5 DDNS Setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to access the router from
outside your network through the provided ASUS DDNS Service or another DDNS
service.
To set up DDNS: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN
DDNS tab. 2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to
copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it
is not allowed.
Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software–to make
sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License
applies to most of the Free
123
Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit
to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the
GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service
if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that
you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make
restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities
for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with
two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations. Finally, any
free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid
the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making
124
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
follow.
Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program
or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as
“you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its
contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been
made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the
125
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium
126
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code,
which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
127
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its
terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from
the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
128
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/ donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/ or new versions of
the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address
new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later
version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the
129
Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission.
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to
the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR
DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
