Using Self-defined Servers

5-5

Note:For each entry, the computer must be running the appropriate server software.

Using Self-defined Servers

If a server is not listed on the Port Forwarding screen, users can define and manage their own servers, using the following steps.

Note:From the WAN or Internet, ALL Port Forwarding have the same IP address - the IP address assigned to the WAN port.

Connecting to User-defined Servers

Once configured, anyone on the WAN or Internet can connect to the user-defined servers. They must use the WAN (Internet) IP

address, for example:

http://203.70.212.52

ftp://203.70.212.52

It is more convenient to use a Fixed IP address (rather than Dynamic). However, to allow users to connect to Port Forwarding using a

URL, rather than an IP address, use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section.
