4 Advanced Applications

4.1 Bandwidth Control

If there are multiple P Cs behind your router competing for limited bandwidth resource, then you can use this feature to specify a reasonable amount of bandwidth for each such PC, so that no one will be over stuffed or starved to death. Click

Advanced -> Bandwidth Control to enter the bandwidth control screen.

Ti p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.

1M=128KB yte/s.

2.

The volume of uplink traffic/downlink traffic should not be larger than that allowed on the router's WAN (Internet) port. You can ask your ISP to provide the volume of Internet traffic.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bandwidth Control Application Example:

If you share a 4M -broadband service with your neighbor. He always d ownloads a large volume of data from Internet, which sharply frustrates your Internet surfing experience; you can use this feature to set limits for the volu me of Internet traffic he can get. For example, you can split the 4M into two, so your neighbor can only use up to 2M Internet traffic and you can enjoy 2M. (Assuming the IP address of your neighbor's PC is 192.168.0.100. 2M=256KByte/s)

Configuration Procedures:

① Click Advanced -> Bandwidth Control .

② Click Add Bandwidth Control Rule .

80

③ Enter 192.168.0.100 in the IP Range fields.

④ Enter 32 in the Uplink Bandwidth field.

⑤ Enter 256 in the Downlink Bandwidth field.

⑥ Click Save to save your settings.

81

⑦ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.

⑧ System returns to the bandwidth control screen after reboot. You can view the rule you just add. Also you can click Edit to edit the rule or Delete to delete the rule. You can also add more rules.

4.3 DDNS

Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet

Domain Name S ystem (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP ad dress allocated by Internet Service P rovider (ISP ) to connect to Internet; the address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one session on the Internet to the next

("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to remember; an addre ss

82

which changes unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static host name to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP address this is commu nicated to the DDNS provider by software ru nning on a computer or network d evice at that address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained.

Click Advanced -> DDNS to enter the DDNS screen.

Ti p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the Service

Providers in the drop-down menu first.

2. This router supports five DDNS service providers: 88ip.cn3322.org, gnway, dyndns and no-ip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DDNS Application Example:

If your ISP gave you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to access your router remotely b ut you cannot predict what your router's WAN IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial D ynamic DNS service. It lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.

83

If you obtain the following account from your dyndns.org service provider:

User Name: tenda

Password: 123456

Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org.

And you want to use the PC at 218.88.93.33 to remotely access this router on port number 8090.

Configuration Procedures:

① DDNS Service: Select Enable .

② Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop -down menu. Here in this example, select dyndns .

③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.

④ Password: Enter the DDNS P assword registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter 12345 6.

⑤ Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name with your DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org.

⑥ Click Save to save your settings.

⑦ Click Security -> Remote Web Management , enable the Remote Web

Management feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.88.93.33 in the IP Address

84

field and then click Save to save your settings.

⑧ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.

Now you can access the router from the Internet by entering http://tenda.d yndns.org:8090 in your browser.

4.1 Virtual Server

You want to share resources on your PC with your friends who are not in your LAN.

But, b y default, the router's firewall blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic. You can use the Virtual

Server feature to create exceptions to this rule so that your friends can access these files from external networks.

Click Advanced -> Virtual Server to enter the configuration screen.

85

Application Example:

As shown in the diagram above, your PC (PC1: 192.168.0.100) connects to the router and runs a FTP server on port number 21. Your friend (PC3) wants to access the FTP server on your PC.

Ti p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP address.

Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet.

2. Make sure you enter correct service port numbers.

3. To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, assign a static IP address to your PC.

4. Operating System built -in firewall and some anti -virus programs may block other PCs from accessing resources on your PC. So it is advisable to disable them before using this feature.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

86

Configuration Procedures:

①

Ext Port: Enter the external port number for the public ports at the

Internet interface.

Here in this example, enter 21.

Int Port: Enter the internal port number for th e private ports at the computer on the router’s local area network (LAN). Here in this example, enter 21.

②

Internal IP: Enter the IP address of your local computer that will provide this service. Here in this example, enter 192.168.0.100.

③

Protocol: Specify the protocol required for the service utilizing the port(s).

④

Check Enable to activate this rule.

⑤

Click Save to save your settings.

Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21in their browsers to access your FTP server. xxx. x xx. x xx. xx x i s th e ro ut er 's WAN I P add r es s . Ass u mi n g i t i s

172 .1 6. 10 2. 89 , t h en yo u r fr i en d s n eed t o en t er ftp://202.33.56.88:21 in their browsers.

87

Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use the port number 80 h ere, you must set the port number for remote web management (Click Tools -> Remote Web Management ) to any port number excluding 80 to avoid collision. Otherwise the port forwarding feature may not be effective.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2 DMZ Host

The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation).

Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the DMZ Host screen.

Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configu red as the DMZ host loses much of the protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to attacks from external networks.

2. Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on you r network.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Configuration Procedures:

①

Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host.

②

DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the router’s firewall will be disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP Address of that device for this function to be consistent.

88

③

Click Save to save your settings.

Ti p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Be sure to statically set the IP Address of the computer that serves as a DMZ host for this function to be consistent.

2. Security softwares such as anti -virus software and OS built -in firewall, etc may affect the DMZ host feature. Disable them if DMZ host fails.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.4 UPnP

The Universal P lug and Play (UPnP ) feature allows network devices, such as computers from Internet, to access resources on local host or devices as needed.

UPnP -enabled devices can be discovered automatically b y the UPnP service application on the LAN. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real -time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you may need to enable Universal

Plug and P lay (UPnP ) for better experience.

Click Advanced -> UPnP to enter the UPnP screen. The UP nP feature is enabled by default.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

4.5 Static Route

Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static routes. However, when there are several routers in the network, you may want to se t up static routing. Static routing determines the path of the data in your network. You can use this feature to allow users on different IP domains to access the Internet via this device. It is not recommended to use this setting unless you are familiar w ith static routing. In most cases, dynamic routing

90

is recommended, because this feature allows the router to detect the physical changes of the network layout automatically. If you want to use static routing, make sure the router’s DHCP function is disable d. Click

Advanced -> Static

Routing to enter the configuration scre en.

Ti p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Gateway must be on the same IP segment as WAN or LAN segment as the router.

2. Subnet Mask must be entered 255.255.255.255 if destination IP address is a single host.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Static Route Application Example - Gateway IP address on the same IP segment as WAN IP:

For example, your company internal network and Internet are on different IP net segment and you want PCs on your LAN to access Internet and your compan y internal network via the Tenda Router. You can simply configuring static routes on the Tenda Router. The figure above depicts this application scenario.
