Port forwarding permits a sort of ‘blind hand-off’ between external clients (your viewers) and a local
transaction port which you manually specify. (The router will pass requests to view the stream through to
the TriCaster, without exposing the internal IP routing.)
To enable port forwarding, you need three pieces of information:

The login information for the router. Your router’s manual will have this information, which typically
involves entering a specific IP number into your web browsers URL field, and perhaps also a
password you have set previously.

The specific IP local number that the router has assigned to your TriCaster. You can read this right
from TriCaster’s Location display. It will comprise the entire string of punctuated numbers before
the colon (the colon separates the port number you chose for your stream).

The port number just mentioned (the part after the colon).
Although the steps vary a bit by brand and model, generally you would proceed as follows:
1. Log into the router, so it shows its control panel in your web browser.
2. Select the port forwarding page of the router controls. These options may be found in an obscure
place, such as the router’s “Applications and Gaming” page (since online gaming often requires port
forwarding).

3. Enter an Application name, if required (this is for your own recognition purposes, so use anything
you like).
4. Enter the Start and End port values – you can use the same port number in both fields, but of course
it must be the one you set in TriCaster’s Port field.
5. If possible, select Both for Protocol (or select UDP).
6. Enter the full (punctuated numeric) local IP address shown in the Location field of your TriCaster
after you enable the stream.
