ADVANCED – VIRTUAL SERVER

Use this window to set up forwarding rules applied to inbound (WAN-to-LAN) traffic. The Virtual Server function allows remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The Wireless Broadband Router will accept remote requests for these services at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and then redirect these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify. Remember that the specified Private IP Address must be within the useable range of the subnet occupied by the Router.

UDP/TCP port redirection is used to direct inbound traffic to the specified servers or workstations on your private network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ. You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming ports. Each set of instructions or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.

Below you will find a list of some common used ports and their corresponding application:

Note: When you are using an application which supports UPnP Port Mapping, the router can be automatically configured by the application when needed. In that case, you don’t need to setup your port mappings manually.

Note: When using Virtual Server rules, it is advised to configure the computer(s) with a Fixed IP Address instead of a Dynamic IP Address.

Note: In the next picture you will see an example of a Virtual Server configuration.
