Field Description
Internal IP Address
The private IP in the LAN network, which will be providing the virtual server application.
This lists all existing PCs connecting to the network. You may assign a
PC with IP Address and MAC from this list.
Example:
If you would like remote access to your router through the Web/HTTP at all times, you need to enable port
number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to the router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you
(Remote side) will be forwarded to the router with IP address of 192.168.1.254. Since port number 80 has
already been predefined, next to the Application click
Helper
. A list of predefined rules window will pop up.
Select HTTP_Server.
Application:
HTTP_Server
Time Schedule:
Always On
Protocol:
tcp
External Port:
80-80
Redirect Port:
80-80
IP Address:
192.168.1.254

NOTE:
Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to
connect to computers on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific
Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As
a result all connections from the WAN will attempt to access the public IP of the DMZ
computer specified.
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION:
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN ISP section, the virtual server function will
be invalid.
When the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP
addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring
virtual servers is to manually assign static IP addresses to each virtual server computer,
with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by
the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP Address manually, but it must
still be in the same subnet as the router.
