Actiontec Wireless Ready Cable/DSL Router User Manual

VPN Pass Through

Selecting VPN Pass Through in the “Custom Setup” screen generates the “VPN Pass Through” window. To allow Virtual Private Networking (VPN) using IPSec/L2TP (with multiple, client-initiated pass-through sessions), click On. Note that VPN using PPTP is always on by default.

Port Forwarding

Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Custom Setup” screen generates the “Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the Router’s built-in firewall to access parts of the network (for hosting a Web or ftp server, for example). To use port forwarding, select one of the Internet services list- ed, activate it by clicking on its “On” radio button, then enter the IP address of the computer on the network receiving the selected service.

Advanced Port Forwarding Settings

Clicking Advanced Port Forwarding Settings generates the “Advanced Port Forwarding” screen. This screen allows the user more control over port forwarding settings. To configure:

1.Enter the IP port range in the “IP Port Range” text boxes. (If more than 10 ports are needed, Actiontec recommends using DMZ Hosting. See “DMZ Hosting.”)
