Choosing an application

Select your application from the drop-down list . Click “Add” . The

settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen .

Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application . To remove

an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove

then click “Clear” .

Manually entering settings into the Virtual server

To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided

for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a

comma between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP),

and click “Apply Changes” . You can only pass one port per internal IP

address . Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk . You can

enable and disable settings very quickly . It is recommended that you

disable the settings when you are not using a specific application .

Configuring Internal forwarding settings

The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)

calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or

other applications through your Router to your internal network . Since

your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside

your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot

be “seen” . A list of common applications has been provided in case you

need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application .

If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application

vendor to find out which port settings you need .
