Rule Name
This setting specifies a name for the firewall rule.
Enable
This setting specifies whether the firewall rule should take effect.
With an Enable value of Yes, the firewall rule takes effect: traffic is
matched, and actions are taken, by PePLink Balance based on the
other parameters of the rule.
With an Enable value of No, the firewall rule does not take effect:
PePLink Balance disregards the other parameters of the rule.

A value of Any, WAN1, WAN2, … and WAN7 specifies that the rule

respectively.

services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.)
After selecting an item from the Common Services drop-down menu,
the Protocol and Port number remains manually modifiable.
