Port Forwarding

Application Names
Check the Application Name drop down menu for a list of pre-defined applications that you can select from. If you select one of the pre-defined applications, click the arrow button next to the drop down menu to fill out the apropriate fields.

Computer Names
You can select your computer from the list of DHCP clients in the Computer Name drop down menu, or enter the IP address manually of the computer you would like to open the specified port to.

Port Ranges
This feature allows you to open a range of ports to a computer on your network. To do so, enter the first port in the range you would like to open in the Start field and last port of the range in the End field.

Single Ports
To open a single port using this feature, simply enter the same number in both the Start and End fields.

Access Control

Access Control
DAP-1360 can be configured to deny or only allow wireless stations association by filtering MAC addresses. By selecting "Accept", DAP-1360 can only be associated with MAC addresses listed in the Authorization table. By selecting "Reject", DAP-1360 will only disassociate with MAC addresses listed.

MAC Address - Enter the MAC address of the device you would like to be affected on selected Access Control type.

IP Filter
Entries in this table are used to restrict certain types of data packets from your local network to Internet through the Gateway. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.

DMZ Only enable the DMZ option as a last resort. If you are having trouble using an application from a computer behind the DAP-1360, first try opening ports associated with the application in the Virtual Server or Port Forwarding sections.
Parental Control Website Filtering Create a list of Websites that you would like the devices on your network to be allowed or denied access to. Keywords Keywords can be entered in this list in order to block any URL containing the keyword entered.

Advanced Wireless

Beacon interval - Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value between 1 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
RTS threshold - This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2432 are recommended. The default value for RTS Threshold is set to 2432.
Fragmentation threshold - This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your "Fragmentation" value within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM interval (beacon rate) - Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message(DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value for DTIM interval is set to 3.
Transmission(TX) Rates - Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on the WLAN(wireless local area network).
Mode Setting - This function allows you to configure the wireless network with IEEE 802.11g only, or IEEE 802.11g with backward interoperability with IEEE 802.11b.
Preamble Type - The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type and click the Apply button. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors.
Antenna Transmit Power - The antenna transmit power ranges from 12.5% (weak) to 100% (strong). The greater antenna transmit power, the longer the range of wireless communications. Select the power based on the coverage you desire for your DAP-1360. For security reasons, certain implementations require that the antenna transmit power be adjusted to provide wireless coverage within a limited area.

Advanced Network

Enable UPnP
If you need to use the UPnP functionality, you can enable it here.

Enable WAN Ping Respond
If you leave this option unchecked, you are causing the DAP-1360 to ignore ping commands for the public WAN IP address of the DAP-1360.

Enable Remote Management
Enabling Remote Management allows you to manage the DAP-1360 from anywhere on the Internet. Disabling Remote Management allows you to manage the DAP-1360 only from computers on your LAN.
