Section 3 | Configuration |
|
|
| Port Forwards: |
| To forward communications from a single port, enter the same port |
| (continued) |
| number in both fields. |
|
| This information must be entered for each port forward. | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) |
|
|
| (2) LAN IP Address: |
|
|
| Sets the client on your local network (specified by IP address) to |
|
|
| which communications will be forwarded. |
|
|
| This information must be entered for each port forward. |
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) |
|
|
| (3) LAN Port Range: |
|
|
| These two fields (“Start” and “End”) define a range of LAN ports to |
|
|
| which communications will be forwarded. To forward to a single |
|
|
| port, enter the same port number in both fields. |
|
|
| This information is optional for each port forward. |
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) |
| Port Triggers: |
| Sets rules for forwarding inbound communications (from your |
| (ADVANCED) |
| broadband connection) based on specific outbound communications |
|
|
| (or “triggers”) from a LAN client. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Specifically, if a LAN client transmits to the Internet using any of a |
|
|
| set of outbound destination ports, they will be forwarded Internet |
|
|
| responses that are received on a corresponding set of inbound |
|
|
| destination ports. |
|
|
| You may optionally specify a destination port range for forwards, on |
|
|
| the LAN side of the WR850, as well. |
|
|
| This feature can be particularly useful to support |
|
|
| which require Internet responses to game activity. These responses |
|
|
| might otherwise be blocked by the WR850 firewall. |
|
|
| NOTE: These settings are only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC |
|
|
| Page is set to Router. |
|
|
| You can store up to 20 port triggers, and selectively enable one or |
|
|
| more of them when desired, using the Enabled checkbox at the end |
|
|
| of each row. If more port triggers are required, especially for a |
|
|
| single client, you should consider configuring the client as a DMZ. |
NOTE: Port triggers will be applied in the order in which they are listed
on this page. | (continued on next page) |
