2.9 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server Settings application allows you to set up to ten public services, such as a Web Address, Email, FTP etc. that can
be accessed by external users of the Internet. Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer (server) configured with
a fixed (static) IP Address. Although the internal service addresses are not directly accessible to the external user, the BAR-WL
Wireless Router is able to identify the service requested by the service port number and redirects the request to the appropriate
internal IP Address/server. To use this application, it is recommended you use a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP. Note that
your BAR-WL Wireless Router supports only one server of any particular type.
• Set up individual network computers to act as servers and configure each with a fixed IP Address.
• In the “One Page Setup” screen, ensure the
“Private IP Address”
is set to the BAR-WL Wireless Router’s default setting
of 192.168.1.1. If a fixed Public IP Address is to be used, select “Specify an IP address” and enter the IP Address and
other necessary information provided by your ISP.
• Ports
Enter the desired service port numbers in the “Ports” fields. You can specify the protocol type as “TCP” or “UDP”
from the drop-down list. If you are not sure which one to select, choose “Both” . A selection of well-known service port
numbers is provided on this screen.
•
Redirect IP Address
Enter the appropriate IP Addresses of the service computers in the “Redirect IP Address” locations.
Example:
If the service port number
80~80
(representing an HTTP web address) is entered in
“Ports”
and
192.168.1.100 is entered in “Redirect IP Address” , then all HTTP requests from external Internet users
will be directed to the PC/server with the 192.168.1.100 fixed IP Address.
