Advanced Internet
Virtual Servers This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet
users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your
LAN because:
• Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.
• Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall
in this device.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users
to connect to your servers, as illustrated below.
