CN8600 User Manual
Port Forwarding
For devices located behind a router, port forwarding allows the router to pass data coming in over a specific port to a specific device. By setting the port forwarding parameters, you tell the router which device to send the data coming in over a particular port to.
For example, if the CN8600 connected to a particular router has an IP address of 192.168.1.180, you would log into your router’s setup program and access the Port Forwarding (sometimes referred to as Virtual Server) configuration page. You would then specify 192.168.1.180 for the IP address and the port number you want opened for it (9000 for internet access, for example).
Since configuration setup can vary somewhat for each brand of router, refer to the router’s User Manual for specific information on configuring port forwarding for it.
