Actiontec electronic GEU404000-01 VPN Pass Through, Port Forwarding

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.

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.”)
