Chapter 4: Web Configuration

After adding a new virtual server, click Apply to view the new virtual server. The following screen will be shown to display the status for this new one.

If you do not want the new server that you added, please check the one and click Remove to discard it. Or if you want to add another one again, click Add to add a new one. And if you are satisfied with all settings that you configure here, click Save.

Connecting to the Virtual Servers

Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP.) For example,

Http://203.70.212.52

Ftp://203.70.212.52

It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Server through a URL, rather than an IP Address.

NAT - DMZ Host

Direct Mapping Zone (DMZ) uses a technology that makes Router forwarding all incoming packet to internal specific server.

To activate a DMZ host, please type in the DMZ Host IP Address and click Apply.

This feature allows one computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the specified IP address and other Internet users or Servers.

This allows almost any application to be used on the specified IP address. The specified IP address will receive all “Unknown” connections and data.

If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must type in numbers to specify an IP address. The DMZ feature can be Enabled and Disabled on the NAT setting screen.
