Data
WAN IP
Address
• This shows the IP Address which Internet users must use to connect to
any of your Virtual Servers.
• To Internet Users, ALL your Virtual Servers have the same IP Ad-
dress.
• This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. It is better to have a fixed IP
Address.
Select Server This lists any Servers you have defined. Click the "Get Data" button to
view the correct data for the selected Server.
Details
Name Enter a descriptive name to identify this Server entry.
Enable Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required.
IP Address The IP Address of the PC on your LAN which is running the Server
software.
Protocol Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server.
Internal Port
Number Enter the port number used by the Server to connect to clients.
External Port
Number The port number used by clients when connecting 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 one port address, while clients use a
different port address.
From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the
IP Address allocated by your ISP, as shown by
the "WAN IP Address".
Connecting to the Virtual Servers
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the
WAN Port IP Address (the IP Address allocated to this device by your ISP).
e.g.
http://203.70.212.52
ftp://203.70.212.52
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.
If using a Fixed IP Address, it is entered on the WAN screen.
