.1 – IP Filtering Rules
Two f nctions are s pported in the IP Filter f nction of the M505N Gateway: O tgoing
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 r les can be allowed by setting
p filtering r les. Choose “Add” to config re incoming IP filters. To remove, check the
item and click “Remove”.

Man al Ver1.0
- 13 -
The screen allows yo to create a filter r le 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 r le m st be satisfied for the r le to take effect. Click “Save/Apply” to save and
activate the filter.
Outgoing IP Filtering
By defa lt, all o tgoing IP traffic from LAN is allowed, b t some IP traffic can be
BLOCKED by setting p filters. Choose “Add” to config re o tgoing IP filters. To remove,
check the item and click “Remove”.
The screen allows yo to create a filter r le to identify o tgoing IP traffic by specifying a
filter name and at least one of the conditions below. All of the specified conditions in this
filter r le m st be satisfied for the r le to take effect. Click “Save/Apply” to save and

Man al Ver1.0
- 14 -
activate the filter.
.2 – URL Filtering Rules
The M505N Gateway allow ser to block or allow access to specific URL for clients
connected. Set p the URL filters by: Choose “Create New R le” to add URL (Web
Address)

Man al Ver1.0
- 15 -
.3 – Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows yo 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 req ired only if the external port needs to be converted to a different
port n mber sed by the server on the LAN side. A maxim m of 32 entries can be
config red.
Click on “Create New Rule” to enter config ration page to add yo r own r le(s). Some
common sed servers (Web, FTP, Mail, etc.) are already pre-defined for the M505N. User
can simply select the desired pre-defined application from the p ll-down men and assign
the IP address of the local PC for the ports to be forwarded to.

Man al Ver1.0

To delete the config red r le(s), check the “Remove” box of the specific r le(s) and click
on “Remove”.
.4 – Port Triggering
Some applications req ire that specific ports in the Ro ter's firewall be opened for access
by the remote parties. Port Trigger dynamically opens p the “Open Ports” in the firewall
when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party sing
the “Triggering Ports”. The Ro ter allows the remote party from the WAN side to establish
new connections back to the application on the LAN side sing the “Open Ports”. A
maxim m of 32 entries can be config red.

Click on “Create New R le” to enter the config ration page to add yo r own r le(s). Yo
can config re the port settings from this screen by selecting an existing application or
creating yo r own (C stom application) and click “Save/Apply” to add it.
To delete the config red r le(s), check the “Remove” box of the specific r le(s) and click
on “Remove”.
.5 – DMZ Host
The DSL ro ter will forward IP packets from the WAN that do not belong to any of the
applications config red in the Port Forwarding table to the DMZ host comp ter.
Enter the comp ter's IP address and click “Apply Specified DMZ Host” to activate the
DMZ host.
Click on the “Clear/Deactivate DMZ Host” b tton to disable the DMZ Host f nction.

. – WAN Access Control
WAN Access Control allows sers to create time of day restrictions to a specific LAN
device connected to the Ro ter. Click “Create New R le” to config re restriction r les. To
remove, check the item and click “Remove”.

Man al Ver1.0
- 19 -
To create a new WAN Access Control R le:
1. Give the r le a name that can be easily be identified
2. The “Browser’s MAC Address” will show the MAC address of the client c rrently
connected to the gateway WEB Interface. Either select this option if yo want the r les to
apply to the PC in se or check the Other MAC address radio box and enter the MAC
address of the client yo wish for the r les to apply to
3. Check the “Block” box and enter the Time of Day (24ho r format) of when yo wo ld like
the R les to begin and end.
4. Click on the “Save/Apply” b tton to apply the new WAN Access Control R le
7. DN
7.1 – Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows yo to give a dynamic IP address a static hostname in
any of the domains. This f nction allows yo r M505N to be more easily accessible from
vario s locations on the Internet.
Choose “Create New Client Service” to config re Dynamic DNS.
Before yo proceed, please visit one of these two websites to receive yo r own Dynamic
DNS service: www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com.
To remove, check the item and click “Remove”

Select yo r Dynamic DNS service provider from ‘D-DNS provider’, and enter yo r
registration information. Click “S bmit Dynamic DNS Service” to save the config ration.
8. Network Access torage (DLNA)
The M505N have the ability to share content of an USB storage device to Windows based
PC’s connected on the LAN.
To tilize this f nction: connect a USB storage device (External Hard drive, USB Th mb
Drive, etc.) to the USB port of the M505N gateway.
The M505N will recognize the device after a few seconds and the USB storage information
will appear in the WEB interface.
To browse the content of the storage device, select the “Browse” link located on the page.
An Explorer window will open and list the directories/files c rrently in the storage device.
