5.2 Virtual Server Configuration To view the following window, click on the Advanced tab at the top of the window and then click the Virtual
Server button to the left. The Virtual Server will allow remote users access to various services outside of
their LAN through a public IP address, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Secure Web). After
configuring the Router for these features, the Router will redirect these external services to an appropriate
server on the user’s LAN.
These external services may be modified by clicking its corresponding edit icon, or they may be deleted by
clicking the corresponding delete icon. Though there are seven fields available to configure the Virtual
Server, in most cases, only the IP address of the Virtual Server will be needed for implementation. To enable
an already existing Virtual Server, click its corresponding edit button, configure the appropriate fields listed
below and set the Status fields to Enabled by clicking the radio button. To configure other virtual servers for
the Router, configure the following fields and click Apply.
