Using the Configuration Menu
(continued)
The DX-E401can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web
or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers
in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DX-E401 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network
so all computers networked with the DX-E401 are invisible to the outside world. If you
wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling
Virtual Server.
Depending on the requested service, the DX-E401 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DX-E401 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular
port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual
Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use
them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.
