The Ping Test is used to
send Ping packets to test if
a computer is on the
Internet. Enter the IP Ad-
dress that you wish to Ping,
and click Ping.
If you choose to block WAN
Ping, the WAN IP Address
of the DI-624L will not re-
spond to pings. Blocking the
Ping may provide some ex-
tra security from hackers.
The DI-524 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec
(IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no
need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can
be made through the DI-524. This is useful when you have many
VPN clients on the LAN network.
Click Reboot to restart the
DI-524.
Click Enabled to block the
WAN ping.

To use the Universal Plug and Play feature click on Enabled. UPNP
provides compatibility with networking equipment, software and periph-
erals of the over 400 vendors that cooperate in the Plug and Play forum.
Gaming mode allows a form of pass-through for certain Internet Games.
If you are using Xbox, Playstation2 or a PC, make sure you are using
the latest firmware and Gaming Mode is enabled. To utilize Gaming
Mode, click Enabled. If you are not using a Gaming application, it is
recommended that you Disable Gaming Mode.
Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing IP Address. This is a useful feature since many
computers do not use a static IP address.
