3.3.2 Port Forwarding
This feature, sometimes called Virtual Servers, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to
Internet users.
An example screen is shown below.
This field lists the PCs on your wireless LAN.
·
For each application listed above, you can choose a
destination PC.
·
If necessary, you can add PCs manually, using the PC
Database menu option.
·
There is no need to aave after each change; you can set the
destination PC for each application, and then click Save.
Use this to enable the DMZ feature as required.
·
The DMZ PC will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
This feature is normally used with applications which do not
usually work when behind a Firewall.
·
The DMZ PC is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more
vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable
the DMZ feature when required.
·
If Enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the DMZ PC.
If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select a PC. If the PC uses
a fixed IP address, and is not in the list, you can add it using the "PC
Database" menu option.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) determines the size of network
packets. This value should only be changed if advised to do so by
technical person.
·
Enter a value between 1 and 1500.
·
This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to
set the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated,
or entered here) will be used.
·
For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is
always 1500.
