Exported services are configured under IP Setup in System Configuration. This is where a particular type of TCP or UDP service originating from the Internet is redirected to a host on the Netopia R9100’s LAN interface. An example of this screen follows:

Within exported services is a pop-up list of well-known TCP and UDP services that can be redirected to a single host on the Netopia R9100’s LAN interface. There is also an “Other...” option that allows for manual configuration of additional TCP or UDP ports. There can be a total of 32 exported services that can be defined.

When a particular type of service is redirected to an IP address, that service is removed from the pop-up list, since only one type of service can be redirected to a single host. However several different types of services can be redirected to a single or multiple hosts. For example, port 80 (WWW server) could be redirected to 192.168.5.3 on the Netopia R9100’s LAN interface, and port 23 (Telnet) can be redirected to that same host.

Summary

NAT is a powerful feature of the Netopia R9100 and when used and set up properly can yield a secure network while only using one IP address on the WAN interface. Note that the addresses listed in this appendix are for demonstration purposes only. Do not use these addresses when configuring your local network.
