Manually Configuring your Router
Virtual Servers
Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web
server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications, through your Router
to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall,
machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be "seen". If
you need to configure the virtual server function for a specific application, you will
need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
You can manually input this port information into the Router.
Choosing an Application
Select your application from the drop-down list. Click "Add". The settings will be
transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click "Apply Changes" to save
the setting for that application. To remove an application, select the number of the
row that you want to remove, then click "Clear".
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the
internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass, the port type (TCP or
UDP), and click "Apply Changes". Each inbound port entry has two fields with
five characters maximum per field that allows a start and end port range (e.g.,
[xxxxx]-[xxxxx]). For each entry, you can enter a single port value by filling in the
two fields with the same value (e.g., [7500]- [7500]) or a wide range of ports (e.g.,
[7500]-[9000]). If you need multiple single-port values or a mixture of ranges and a
single value, you must use multiple entries up to the maximum of 20 entries (e.g., 1.
[7500]-[7500], 2. [8023]-[8023], 3. [9000]-[9000]). You can only pass one port per
internal IP address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can
enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the
settings when you are not using a specific application.
Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other
network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single
computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.
