Chapter 2 .
Configure Touch P5 as a Router
Note:
1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of
Internal Port
and
Protocol
if you are not clear about which
port and protocol to use.
2. If the service you want to use is not in the list of
Service Type
, you can enter the corresponding parameters
manually. You should verify the ports number that the service needs.
3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in your Touch P5. Please note
that the
External Port
cannot be overlapped.
Users in the Internet can enter
Service Type://WAN IP
to visit your local resources. (in this case, enter
http://218.18.232.154 to visit your personal website).
Note:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended to
apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS. Then you can use
Service Type://Domain Name
to visit your local resources.
2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use
Service Type://WAN IP:External Port
or
Ser-vice
Type://Domain Name:External Port
to visit your local resources.
2. 23. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host in the local network initiates a
connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. Your Touch P5 can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, your Touch P5 can forward them to the
corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include
MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
