Advanced: Port Forwarding
The Advanced Menu includes the Port Forwarding screen.
The Port Forwarding feature allows incoming trac (from the Internet) to be forwarded to a
particular computer or device on MiFi4510L’s wireless network. Normally, incoming trac from the
Internet is blocked.
You need to use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to access any server you are running on
your computer, such as a Web server, FTP server, or E-mail server. Also, for some online games, Port
Forwarding must be used for the game to function correctly. The Port Forwarding screen has the
following section.
• Port Forwarding Applications (See
Port Forwarding Applications on page 54.)
IMPORTANT Port forwarding creates a security risk. This feature should be disabled when it is
not required.
