Virtual Server
Advanced Setup > NAT > Virtual Server
Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or
required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer
or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ
(see DMZ on
page
25) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports
used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera
(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on
your network to be able to view it over the Internet.
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual
Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service (See
DynDNS section).
1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page"
on
page
16).
2. Click on Advanced Setup and click on NAT, then click on Virtual Server.
3. Review the virtual server settings.
•
Enabled – Checking the Enabled option turns on the virtual server and
unchecking the option turns off the virtual server.
•
Private IP – Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (use last IP
address number such as 192.168.10.101)
Note: You should assign a static IP address to the device or use DHCP
reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.

connecting device's documentation for reference to the network port(s)
required.
•

can select Both to choose both TCP & UDP (recommended).
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine which
ports and protocols are required.
In the empty field, enter the port number used to access the device
o
from the Internet.
Note: The Public Port can be assigned a different port number than the Private Port
(also known as port redirection), however it is recommended to use the same port
number for both settings. Please refer to the device documentation to determine which
ports and protocols are required.
