6. Security
The Security section allows the following setting to be configured on the VisionNet
M504 Gateway:
IP Filtering Rules
URL Filtering
Port Forwarding
Port Triggering
DMZ Host
WAN Access Control
6.1 –IP Filtering Rules
Two functions are supported in the IP Filter function of the M504 Gateway: Outgoing IP
Filtering and Incoming Filtering.
Incoming IP Filtering
When the firewall option is enabled on a WAN or LAN interface, all incoming IP traffic
from the WAN is BLOCKED. However, incoming IP filter rules can be allowed by setting
up filtering rules. Choose “Add” to configure incoming IP filters. To remove, check the
item and click “Remove”.

Manual Ver1.0
- 13 -
The screen allows you to create a filter rule to identify incoming IP traffic by specifying a
filter name and at least one of the conditions below. All of the specified conditions in this
filter rule must be satisfied for the rule to take effect. Click “Save/Apply” to save and
activate the filter.
Outgoing IP Filtering
By default, all outgoing IP traffic from LAN is allowed, but some IP traffic can be
BLOCKED by setting up filters. Choose “Add” to configure outgoing IP filters. To remove,
check the item and click “Remove”.
The screen allows you to create a filter rule to identify outgoing IP traffic by specifying a
filter name and at least one of the conditions below. All of the specified conditions in this
filter rule must be satisfied for the rule to take effect. Click “Save/Apply” to save and

Manual Ver1.0
- 14 -
activate the filter.
6.2 –URL Filtering Rules
The M504 Gateway allow user to block or allow access to specific URL for clients
connected. Setup the URL filters by: Choose “Create New Rule” to add URL (Web
Address)

Manual Ver1.0
- 15 -
6.3 –Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by
Protocol and External port) to the internal server with private IP address on the LAN side.
The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different
port number used by the server on the LAN side. A maximum of 32 entries can be
configured.
Click on “Create New Rule” to enter configuration page to add your own rule(s). Some
common used servers (Web, FTP, Mail, etc.) are already pre-defined for the M504. User
can simply select the desired pre-defined application from the pull-down menu and assign
the IP address of the local PC for the ports to be forwarded to.

Manual Ver1.0
- 16 -
To delete the configured rule(s), check the “Remove” box of the specific rule(s) and click
on “Remove”.
6.4 –Port Triggering
Some applications require that specific ports in the Router's firewall be opened for access
by the remote parties. Port Trigger dynamically opens up the “Open Ports” in the firewall
when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using
the “Triggering Ports”. The Router allows the remote party from the WAN side to establish
new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the “Open Ports”. A
maximum of 32 entries can be configured.

Manual Ver1.0
- 17 -
Click on “Create New Rule” to enter the configuration page to add your own rule(s). You
can configure the port settings from this screen by selecting an existing application or
creating your own (Custom application) and click “Save/Apply” to add it.
To delete the configured rule(s), check the “Remove” box of the specific rule(s) and click
on “Remove”.
6.5 –DMZ Host
The DSL router will forward IP packets from the WAN that do not belong to any of the
applications configured in the Port Forwarding table to the DMZ host computer.
Enter the computer's IP address and click “Apply Specified DMZ Host” to activate the
DMZ host.
Click on the “Clear/Deactivate DMZ Host” button to disable the DMZ Host function.

Manual Ver1.0
- 18 -
6.6 –WAN Access Control
WAN Access Control allows users to create time of day restrictions to a specific LAN
device connected to the Router. Click “Create New Rule” to configure restriction rules. To
remove, check the item and click “Remove”.

Manual Ver1.0
- 19 -
To create a new WAN Access Control Rule:
1. Give the rule a name that can be easily be identified
2. The “Browser’s MAC Address” will show the MAC address of the client currently
connected to the gateway WEB Interface. Either select this option if you want the rules to
apply to the PC in use or check the Other MAC address radio box and enter the MAC
address of the client you wish for the rules to apply to
3. Check the “Block” box and enter the Time of Day (24hour format) of when you would like
the Rules to begin and end.
4. Click on the “Save/Apply” button to apply the new WAN Access Control Rule

7. DNS
7.1 –Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to give a dynamic IP address a static hostname in
any of the domains. This function allows your M504 to be more easily accessible from
various locations on the Internet.
Choose “Create New Client Service” to configure Dynamic DNS.
Before you proceed, please visit one of these two websites to receive your own Dynamic
DNS service: www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com.
