Tips:
• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and
Protocol if you are not clear about which port and protocol to use.
• If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the
corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number
that the service needs.
• You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several
services in a router. Please note that the External Port should not be

Users on the Internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Tips:
• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is
assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to apply
and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Set Up a
Dynamic DNS Service Account. Then users on the Internet can use
http:// domain name to visit the website.
• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use
http:// WAN IP: External Port or http:// domain name: External Port to visit
the website.

Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the

IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the
router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to
online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming
Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players and more.
Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:
