Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to setup a server connected to the EXPLORER 500 while the terminal
is in Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from the
internet.
For information on how to set the terminal in Router mode, see Configuring the LAN interface on
page 100.
The following example shows how to allow internet access to a mail server (smtp) connected to the
terminal . The mail server in this example has the IP address 192.168.0.100.
1. Select LAN > Port forwarding in the left navigation pane.
2. Select Enabled to globally enable port forwarding.
3. Type in the port number of the Incoming port.
4. Type in the Destination IP address, which in this example is the IP address of the mail server:
192.168.0.100.
5. Type in the Destination port number.
6. Repeat step 3. to step 5. to set up port forwarding to additional servers.
7. In the Active column, select which ports should have port forwarding activated.
8. Click Apply.
You can now access the mail server from the Internet, using the external IP address of the
EXPLORER 500.
