Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

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.

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.
