Static Port Setting (Port Forwarding)
Follow the steps shown below to configure Static Port.
1. Go to NAT function at the Command Window. Select the type of Server you wish
to configure as shown in the figure below:
2. Key in the Private IP Address.
3. Next, choose a transport protocol, either TCP or UDP, for the respective IP
Address.
The Internet makes two transport protocols available to its applications, namely
TCP and UDP.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is meant for building a reliable
communications stream on top of the unreliable packet Internet Protocol (IP). TCP
is the protocol that supports nearly all Internet applications.
User Diagram Protocol (UDP) is a connectionless protocol that runs on top of IP
networks. UDP/IP provides very few errors recovery services, offering instead a
direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It is used primarily
for broadcasting messages over a network.
