Reference Manual for the Model MR814 Wireless Router
Introduction 1-3
• Port Forwarding with NAT
Although NAT prevents Internet locations from directly accessing the PCs on the LAN, the
router allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific PCs based on the service port number
of the incoming request, or to one designated “DMZ” host computer. You can specify
forwarding of single ports or ranges of ports.
• Encryption of the Wireless Link
For security against eavesdropping of the wireless signal, the router supports Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) data encryption with Shared Key authentication. You can also restrict access to
the wireless network by MAC address.
• Additional security features include the following:
– Parental control of web browsing and newsgroup access using Web Address (URL)
keyword blocking
– Auditing and e-mail reporting of web browsing activities
– Blocking can be scheduled by day and time
– Network Address Translation (NAT) hides local PCs from the Internet
– Incoming port forwarding and DMZ for
hosting specific Internet services without
sacrificing unauthorized access to your private network.
Autosensing 10/100 Ethernet
With its internal, 4-port 10/100 switch, the Model MR814 router can connect to either a 10 Mbps
standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN interface is
autosensing and is capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
Also, there is a built in 4-port 10/100 Mbps Switch which provides the following features:
• Allows LAN connections at 10 megabits per second (Mbps) or 100 Mbps
• Autosensing for Ethernet (10BASE-T) or Fast Ethernet (100BASE-Tx) transmissions
• Half-duplex or full-duplex operation
