Port Forwarding - Novatel MiFi 2200 User Manual

Port Forwarding

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally prevented by the firewall from reaching devices on
your local wireless network. Use port forwarding to allow Internet users to reach any server you are
running on your computer, such as an FTP server. Also, some online games require incoming access
to work properly.
IMPORTANT
You will need to set up static IP addresses on your WLAN for each device that has
an application you want to forward to.
➊ ➊
Choose Advanced>Port Forwarding from the menu bar.
➋ ➊
Select the check box for the application you want to enable.
➌ ➊
Enter the local static IP address of the device hosting the application in the IP Address on WLAN
box.
➍ ➊
Click Apply when you have finished adding applications.
IMPORTANT
Port forwarding creates a security risk and should be disabled when not needed.
