Page 136: Virtual Server (Known As Port Forwarding)
Mega 200VWR Router Virtual Server (known as Port Forwarding) In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”.
Page 137: Add Virtual Server
Mega 200VWR Router Add Virtual Server Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when NAT is enabled - all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically created Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a computer on your network.
Page 138: Edit Dmz Host
Mega 200VWR Router Example: If you would like to remotely access your routers’ Web/HTTP interface all the time, you would need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map it to the Router’s LAN IP Address. All incoming HTTP requests on the WAN network will then be forwarded to the router’s IP address of 192.168.1.254. Since port number 80 is already a predefined rule, click Helper in the Application section.
