Example settings to connect the SPL6 to the internet
The following images show how a router is set to redirect the connections from the internet to the
SPL6. The exact settings depend on the brand and type of the router.
Allowing external access from the internet is often called as 'Virtual servers', 'Port forwarding' or
'Port redirection'.
•
Open the router configuration page
•
Select the 'NAT setup' page
•
Select 'Port redirection'
•
Now set the IP address for the SPL6, the external port number and the local port number.
The following ports are used:
Http: port 80
FTP: port 21
Telnet: port 23
Important:
•
Always ask your system administrators' permission to make these type of adjustments. If you
doubt, or are not familiar with network settings, ask your network administrator for assistance!
•
Some internet service providers do not allow their clients to add servers to the internet. Please
check your contract or inform with your ISP.
•
Your connection to the internet needs to have a static IP address to make the SPL6 available
over the internet. Some providers use dynamic IP addresses. This means your IP address can
change after some time. This makes it impossible to connect to the SPL6.
•
Opening a port to the internet is always a security risk, therefore check for updates regularly,
and do not make the limiter available on the internet is not really needed.
