Port Forward
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.

Application

External Port
Traffic from the Internet using this port number will be sent to the

is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation"
function, allowing the server to use a different port to the clients.
Internal Port
Enter the port numbers which the Server software is configured to
use.
Protocol
Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server.
IP Address
Enter the desired IP address.
