value). If you add the PC to the forwarding table and define port 80 as the public
port and port 8080 as an internal port, all requests from the Internet are diverted to
the service with the port number 80 on the Web server of the PC you have defined
with port 8080.
Note:
You can use a single port number, several port numbers separated by commas,
port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a dash, or any combina-

Opening the firewall for selected PCs (Exposed Host)

You can set up a client in your local network to be a so-called "exposed host". Your device
will then forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can then,
for example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network
and make it accessible to Internet users.
As the exposed host, the local client is directly visible to the Internet and therefore par-
ticularly vulnerable to attacks (e.g. hacker attacks). Only activate this function if it is
absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and other functions (e.g. port for-
warding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropriate measures for the
clients concerned.
Note:
Only one PC per public IP address can be set up as an Exposed Host (see also the
section entitled Port Forwarding on page 73).
ì
To set up a PC as an exposed host, select Exposed Host from the
Advanced Settings – Internet – Address Translation (NAT) menu.
