    Before You Begin It’s best to use a computer with an Ethernet adapter for configuring the MH-5000. The default IP address for the MH-5000 is 192.168.1.254 (LAN1 at the port number 4) with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your computer a Static IP address within the same range as the MH-5000’s IP address, say...

    As the above Figure 2 illustrated, the server 10.1.1.5 provides FTP service and is located on the DMZ region behind MH-5000. By this way, MH-5000 will act as a Virtual Server role which redirects the packets to the real server 10.1.1.5. And you can announce to the internet users that the ftp server ip/port is 61.2.1.1/44444.
