6.4 Establishing the WPS Connection
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard used to set up a wireless network in
an easy and secure way. If traditional methods are used, you must enter the name of
the wireless local area network (WLAN), that is, the service set identifier (SSID) and
the security key from the access point and the device, to prevent unauthorized access
to the WLAN. If the WPS standard is used, you do not need to know the SSID and the
security key because they will be set from the access point and the device
automatically.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > WLAN > WPS Settings.
Step 2 From WPS Mode,
Select client-pin, and enter the device's WPS PIN in WPS PIN.
Select ap-pin, enter the WPS PIN that shown in the WPS PIN in the device's
WPS textbox.

and access the FTP services provided by the device whose IP address is
192.168.20.101.
By default, the FTP service port is 21. If this port is changed (for example, it is changed to 8021),
the external user must enter ftp://10.2.1.123:8021 to access the FTP server.
8.6 Configuring the Special Applications
The Smart Hub supports the function to use a special application to configure
dynamic port forwarding. Certain applications in the local area network (LAN) must
use a specified port of the firewall to access remote applications. To set up a
Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) connection
between an application in the LAN and a remote application, the firewall uses this port
forwarding function to open the required port.

Step 3 Click Save to save the settings.
Edit: to edit an item.
Delete: to delete an item.

Example of the Configuration of a Special Application
A device in the LAN uses TCP to access the MSN game server through port 47624.
When the game starts, the game server uses TCP and port 2400 to set up a
connection to the device that tries to access the server. In this case, you must
HUAWEI B890 4G LTE Smart Hub
Online Help
Issue 01 (2013-02-05)

configure dynamic port forwarding, because the game conflicts with the following
default firewall rules:
The firewall blocks external data input.
The game server can send a connection request to the external IP address of the
Smart Hub but cannot send the request to the LAN device that tries to access the
game server, because the IP addresses of devices are not open to external
devices.
To solve this problem, you must define a set of port forwarding rules. When the device
in the LAN sends data to TCP port 47624, the rules allow data input from TCP port
2400. Then data from the game server can be received from and transmitted to the
LAN device that sends data to TCP port 47624.

8.7 Configuring the DMZ
If external users cannot access certain network services provided by the local area
network (LAN), use the DMZ function provided by the Smart Hub to set the device
that provides the required network services as the DMZ host; external users can then
access these services properly. DMZ is an acronym for the demilitarized zone in
networks.
Prerequisites
DMZ users are not protected by the firewall and may be easily attacked. In addition,
the security of other users in the LAN is compromised.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > Security > DMZ Settings.
Step 2 Select:
Enable: to enable the DMZ function.
Disable: to disable the DMZ function.
Step 3 In DMZ IP address, enter the IP address of the device to be set as the DMZ host.
