Basic Rules

Enable to use any of the quick filters. Preconfigured quick filters 
include:

Enabling this blocks communication using these protocols from 
the WAN side to the LAN side or from the LAN side to the Internet. 
You can configure this with PPPoE if you select [Use PPPoE Client] 
or [Use IP Unnumbered] in Method of Acquiring IP address (page 
24), or if Easy Setup identified a PPPoE connection during setup.

Enabling this option will answer IDENT requests from the Internet 
side with corresponding rejection packets. Enable this option if 
you experienced slow transfer speeds for network applications 
such as mail, ftp or web browsing. If you have configured transfer 
of IDENT requests to the LAN side computer in the address 
translation settings (DMZ or TCP port 113), then that setting has 
higher priority, and overrides this setting.

If this is enabled, the AirStation will not respond to pings from the 
Internet side. You can configure this with PPPoE if you select [Use 
PPPoE Client] or [Use IP Unnumbered] in Method of Acquiring IP 
address (page 24), or if Easy Setup identified a PPPoE connection 
during setup.
