5.2.4 DNS  
Most service providers provide a DNS server via DHCP or PPPoE for  
speed and convenience. If you have a static IP address, or if there is a DNS  
server that you would rather use, you need to specify the primary and  
secondary IP address here. When the primary DNS does not work, the  
system will automatically use the secondary DNS.  
Figure

5.4 NAT Settings  
5.4.1 Address Mapping  
The AVRO 3001 VoIP router supports multiple public IP addresses. It  
allows IP addresses used in a private local network to be mapped to one or  
more addresses used in the public Internet. This page allows you to enter up  
to 10 address mappings between a set of private IP addresses and one  
public IP address. After these settings have been completed, the AVRO  
3001 VoIP router will map the set of private IP addresses to the public IP  
address when accessing to the Internet. This could be useful in multimedia  
applications such as gaming and VPN; however most users have only one  
public address and will use only the first mapping on this page.

5.4.2 Virtual Server  
The AVRO 3001 VoIP router has NAT router functionality. All the IP  
addresses coming in and going out to the AVRO 3001 VoIP router are  
converted between public and private IP addresses. You can configure the  
AVRO 3001 VoIP router as a virtual server so that remote users accessing  
services such as the Web or FTP at your local sites via public IP address can  
be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP  
address. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP),  
the AVRO 3001 VoIP router redirects the external service request to the  
appropriate server. After entering parameters for an application, you must  
press the Add button to confirm this setting. An alternative approach is to  
use the Clear button to clear all fields and enter another parameter.

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming  
and video conferencing. These applications cannot work when Network  
Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that  
require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an  
application in the "Trigger Port" field. Select the protocol type as TCP or  
UDP and then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to  
open them for inbound traffic.

5.5 Firewall  
The AVRO 3001 VoIP router provides firewall protection by restricting  
connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion attempts, by defending  
against a wide array of common intrusion types. When the firewall is  
enabled, extra checking will be performed for each of the packets passing  
through the AVRO 3001 VoIP router. However, this extra checking may  
affect the performance of the device, so it should be used on an as-needed  
basis. To enable the firewall feature, select Enable from this firewall page.  
By default, Firewall is disabled.  
Figure 5-1

5.5.1 Access Control  
Access Control allows you to block specific PCs on your network from  
gaining access to the Internet. You can block PCs based on either the IP  
address or the MAC address. When the firewall is enabled, Access Control  
will be enabled automatically. You can disable the filtering feature manually.  
When Access Control is enabled, all packets will be allowed by default. You  
can use the "Normal Filtering Table" and the "MAC Filtering Table" to  
filter out disallowed traffic.

Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)  
A security protocol that provides authentication and encryption over the  
internet. Security is provided at the network or packet processing layer of  
network communication, rather than the application layer. IPsec supports  
two encryption modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode encrypts  
only the data portion of each packet, but leaves the header untouched. The  
more secure tunnel mode encrypts both the header and the data portion.  
On the receiving side, an IPsec-compliant device decrypts each packet.
