Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up Protocol
Binding and for examples of collocating router modes with Protocol Binding.
Unbinding WAN Balance Mode
This mode enables users to assign specific intranet IP addresses, destination application service ports or
destination IP addresses to go through an assigned WAN for external connection. After being assigned, the
specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, specific destination application service
ports, or specific destination IP addresses. Intranet IP, specific destination application service ports and
specific destination IP that is not configured under the rules will go through other WANs for external
connection. For unassigned WANs, users can select Load Balance mode and select session or IP for load
balancing.

Description
Session Balance
:
If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate
connections based on session number to achieve network load balance.
IP Balance
:
If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate
connections based on the number of IP addresses to achieve network load
balance.
.
"
Note
Only when a device assignment is collocated with Protocol Binding can the balancing function be
brought into full play. For example, an assignment requiring all Intranet IP addresses to go through
WAN 1 when connecting with service port 80, or go through WAN 1 when connecting with IP
211.1.1.1, must be set up in the Protocol Binding Configuration.
"
Attention
When assigning mode is selected, as in the above example, the IP(s) or service provider(s)
configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external connections, but those which are
not configured in the rule will still follow the device Load Balance system to go through other WAN
ports to connect with the Internet.

Strategy Routing Mode
If strategy Routing is selected, the device will automatically allocate external connections based on routing
policy (Division of traffic between Telecom and Netcom is to be used in China) embedded in the device. All
you have to do is to select the WAN (or WAN group) which is connected with Netcom; the device will then
automatically dispatch the traffic for Netcom through that WAN to connect with the Internet and dispatch traffic
for Telecom to go through the WAN connected with Telecom to the Internet accordingly. In this way, the traffic
