Port Forwarding
For devices located behind a router, port forwarding allows the router to pass
data coming in over a specific port to a specific device. By setting the port
forwarding parameters, you tell the router which device to send the data
coming in over a particular port to.
For example, if the CN8000A connected to a particular router has an IP address
of 192.168.1.180, you would log into your router’s setup program and access
the Port Forwarding (sometimes referred to as
Virtual Server ) configuration
page. You would then specify 192.168.1.180 for the IP address and the port
number you want opened for it (9000 for Internet access, for example).
Since configuration setup can vary somewhat for each brand of router, refer to
the router’s User Manual for specific information on configuring port
forwarding for it.
