Redirect Port Window
The Redirect Port window presents five entry fields. The first field, Comment
can be used to assign an appropriate name to the new route, for our example we
will use the name HTTP Server. In the Internet Port field enter the designated
TCP or UDP protocol port number for the particular protocol packet you wish to
redirect. In our example an incoming HTTP packets use port 80. The local port is
the port used by the designated host on the LAN. In this case an HTTP server,
conventionally port 8080 is used for this purpose. Choose the protocol either TCP
or UDP from the pull-down Protocol menu, HTTP is defined within TCP. In the
Local Computer field supply the IP address of the local designated host
computer or device. Using our example you would enter the IP address of the
HTTP server.

Router Utility Functions

Once the Router configurations have been set, it is necessary to save the new
settings to memory. You may also upgrade the Router to use the latest firmware.
The procedures for saving settings and upgrading firmware are discussed here.

Save Changes

In order to save the configuration changes that have been made to the Router you
must save them to the Router's non-volatile RAM. You can change any or all of
the configurable settings in one session before you initiate the saving procedure.
If you experience a power loss or reboot the Router before saving, all changes will
have to be reset.
