Port Forwarding
This function is used to open ports in your device and redirect data through those
ports to a single PC on your network (WAN-to-LAN traffic). It allows remote users
to access services on your LAN, such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and
POP3 for e-mail. The device accepts remote requests for these services at your
global IP address. It uses the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number,
and redirects these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address
you specify. Note that the specified private IP address must be within the
available range of the subnet where the device is in.
Choose Advanced > Port Forwarding. The page shown in the following figure
appears.
Click the Usual Service Name drop-down menu to choose the service you want
to set up for port forwarding. When you have chosen a service, the default
settings will populate the table below.
If the service you want to set up isn't listed, select the User-defined Service
Name radio button and type in a service name. Configure the Protocol, WAN
Setting, WAN Interface, WAN Port, LAN Open Port and LAN IP Address.
Click the Apply changes button to finish.
