Port Forwarding Settings

Port Forwarding: Port forwarding allows specific ports of the hosts residing in the internal network to be forwarded to the external network. This is useful for number of applications such as FTP servers, gaming, etc. where different host systems need to be seen using a single common IP address/port. Port Forwarding rules can be set in Port Forwarding window, which is opened by enabling the Port Forwarding option and activating the Configure button.

Port Forwarding entries can be specified by using the following criteria:

Private IP is the IP of the host which is connected to the internal network and needs to be accessible from the external network;

Private Port is the TCP/UDP port of the application running on the host which is connected to the internal network. The specified port will be accessible from the external network;

Type is the L3 protocol (IP) type which needs to be forwarded from the internal network. Public Port is the TCP/UDP port of the based device which will accept and forward the connections from the external network to the host connected to the internal network.

Comments is the informal field for the comment of the particular port forwarding entry.

Few words about the particular port forwarding entry purpose are saved there usually. Enabled flag enables or disables the effect of the particular port forwarding entry. All the added firewall entries are saved in system configuration file, however only the enabled port forwarding entries will be active during the system operation.

New entries in port forwarding can be saved by activating Save button or discarded by activating Cancel button in the Port Forwarding configuration window.

DNS Proxy: The DNS Proxy forwards the Domain Name System requests from the hosts which reside in the internal network to the DNS server while device is in operating in Router mode. Valid Primary DNS Server IP needs to be specified for DNS Proxy functionality. Internal network interface IP of the device should be specified as the DNS server in the host configuration in order DNS Proxy should be able to get the DNS requests and translate domain names to IP addresses afterwards.

802.11N specifications

Compex Systems 802.11N solutions are designed to provide high-performance wireless networking, catering to the growing demand for faster and more reliable connectivity in various applications. The 802.11N standard, also known as Wi-Fi 4, significantly enhances the capabilities of previous Wi-Fi standards by utilizing advanced technologies and features.

One of the key characteristics of Compex Systems 802.11N products is their support for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. MIMO allows the transmission of multiple data streams simultaneously, effectively improving throughput and range. This is especially useful in environments with high user density or physical obstructions, as it enhances the signal quality and minimizes interference.

Another significant feature is the use of Channel Bonding, which combines two adjacent channels to double the data rate. This capability enables users to experience higher speeds, typically reaching up to 600 Mbps under optimal conditions. The dual-band operation, supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, further enhances flexibility and performance. The 2.4 GHz band offers broader coverage, while the 5 GHz band provides faster speeds with less congestion.

Compex Systems also incorporates advanced security protocols in their 802.11N solutions. With support for WPA2 encryption and robust authentication methods, users can ensure that their connections remain secure, protecting sensitive data from potential threats.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical feature, allowing network administrators to prioritize traffic according to application needs. This ensures that bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video streaming and online gaming, receive the necessary resources for optimal performance, even in a crowded network environment.

Designed for versatility, Compex Systems 802.11N devices can be employed in various scenarios, including enterprise, education, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. Their compact and durable designs make them suitable for deployment in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Overall, Compex Systems 802.11N solutions offer a comprehensive set of features and technologies aimed at providing robust, high-speed wireless connectivity. With MIMO, Channel Bonding, dual-band support, enhanced security, and QoS capabilities, these systems are well-suited to meet the demands of modern wireless networking environments.
