Section 9: Advanced Feature
 |
This feature allows you to manage the Twin WAN Gateway via the Internet. You can restrict access to a specified IP address or address range.
|
|
These settings determine whether or not the Twin WAN Gateway should respond to ICMP (ping) requests received from the WAN port.
|
|
Use these to ensure that certain traffic is sent by a particular WAN port, and thereby a particular ISP account. These settings are only useful if using both WAN ports.
|
|
This cosole permits you to bind WAN 1 or WAN 2 ports by selecting TCP/UDP protocol.

Advanced Feature - Settings
Remote Upgrade -
This feature permits you to use the supplied Windows program to remotely upgrade the Firmware. When not enabled, upgrades must be performed by a PC on the LAN.
Remote Web-based Setup -
This feature permits the Twin WAN Gateway's Web-based interface to be accessable via the Internet. When not enabled, access is only available to PCs on the LAN. The default port value is 8080.
Allowed IP Range -
Remote access is only available to the IP addresses entered in here. Leaving these fields blank will allow access to all PCs. To specify a single address, enter it in both fields. The addresses must be Internet IP addresses and not addresses on the local LAN.
INDENT Port -
This port provides a means to determine the identity of a user on a particular TCP connection. By default, the device is stealth for this port. Enable to make this port closed (not stealth).
Using Remote Web-based Setup
To connect to the Twin WAN Gateway from a remote PC via the Internet:
1. |
Ensure that both your PC and the Twin WAN Gateway are connected to the Internet. |
2. |
Open a Web Browser. (MS Internet Explorer, FIrefox, Netscape, Safari, etc.) |
3. |
In the Address bar enter:
http:// (Internet IP Address of the Twin WAN Gateway)
The Port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter “:” followed by the port number)
e.g.: http://123.123.123.123:8080
NOTE:
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080. If you are using the Dynamic DNS feature, you can connect using the domain name allocated to you.
e.g.: HTTP://my_domain_name.dyndns.org:8080

These settings determine whether or not the Twin WAN Gateway will respond to ICMP (ping) requests received from the WAN port. When the Block Selected Packet Types is enabled, the selected packet types are blocked.
Some servers on a LAN and their domain names have already registered on a public DNS. To avoid DNS loopback problem, enter the following fields:
- Domain Name – Enter the domain name specified by you for local host/server.
- Private IP – Enter the private IP address of your local host/server.
This option allows SMTP Binding to a specific WAN port. This applies only when using E-mail accounts from different ISPs on each port. Some ISPs configure their E-mail Servers so they will not accept E-mail from IP addresses not allocated by themselves. If you are using accounts from different ISPs, sending E-mail over the wrong port may result in non-acceptance of the mail. In this case, you can use these settings to correct the problem.
Use these settings if you wish to ensure user-defined traffic to be sent by a specific WAN port. This allows that user-defined traffic to be handled by a designated ISP account.
Enable -
Enable or disable each item as required.
Source IP -
IP address of source which packets are sent from.
Destination IP -
IP address of destination which packets are sent to.
Subnet Mask -
With subnet mask other than 255.255.255.255, you can make a IP sub-network as your destination.
Protocol -
Select the protocol used by the traffic you wish to configure.
Port Range -
Enter the beginning and end of the port range used by the traffic you wish to configure. If only a single port is used, enter the port number in both fields.
WAN -
Select the port you wish this traffic to use.
