information:
• Service Name: Enter a service name.
• Port Range: If you want to specify a Port Range for clients
on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the
Local Port empty. Port range accepts various formats such

each port assigned a port number and a specific task. For
example, port 80 is used for HTTP. A specific port can only be used
by one application or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting
to access data through the same port at the same time would fail.
For example, you cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for
two PCs at the same time.
• Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port
forwarding work properly. Refer to section 4.4 LAN for information.
