Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to setup a server connected to the EXPLORER 527 while the terminal
is in Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from the
internet.
For information on how to set the terminal in Router mode, see Configuring the LAN interface on
page 80.

terminal . The mail server in this example has the IP address 192.168.0.100.
