Port Forward

This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users

would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:

 Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.

 Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device.

Application

Enter the desired application type.

External Port

Traffic from the Internet using this port number will be sent to the Server. This

is normally the same as the Internal Port Number. If it is different, this device

will perform a "mapping" or "translation" function, allowing the server to use a

different port to the clients.

Internal Port

Enter the port numbers which the Server software is configured to use.

Protocol

Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server.
