The Port Forwarding Screen

The Port Forwarding screen is reached by the Port Forwarding link. The following is a sample screen.

Figure 25. The Port Forwarding Screen

This screen lists a number of pre-defined servers and allows users to define their own servers. Details of the selected server are shown in the Properties area. The following table describes the fields on the Port Forwarding Screen.

Service

Service

Lists a number of pre-defined and user-defined services. Details of the selected service are shown in

 

the Properties area.

Properties

 

Enable

Enables/Disables Port Forwarding for this service, as required.

PC (Server)

Selects the computer to be used as the server for this service. The computer must be running the

 

appropriate Server software.

If the computer uses a fixed IP address, and is not in the list, click here and add it using the PC Database

 

menu option.

Protocol

Selects the protocol (TCP, UDP or TCP/UDP) used by the service.

Internal (LAN)

Enter the range of port numbers that the server software is configured to use.

Ports

 

 

 

External (WAN)

Traffic from the Internet using this range of port numbers will be sent to the selected server. These ports

Ports

are normally the same as the internal port numbers. If they are different, this computer will perform a

 

mapping or translation function, allowing the server to use a different port range to the clients. Using

 

this feature allows the server to distinguish traffic from the WAN from traffic on the local LAN by

 

using the port number, rather than having to check IP addresses.

Buttons:

 

Defaults

Deletes any user-defined servers, and sets the pre-defined servers to use their default port numbers.

Disable All

Causes the Enable setting of all entries to be set Off.

Delete

Deletes the current server entry. Note that the pre-defined servers cannot be deleted; only those servers

 

that are user-defined can be deleted.
