4.7 Forwarding
Figure 4-25 The Forwarding menu
There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu: Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, DMZ
and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function. The
detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.
4.7.1 Virtual Servers
Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email and
FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the Internet to this service
port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for a
virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change
when using the DHCP function. You can set up virtual servers on this page:
Figure 4-26 Virtual Servers
¾
Service Port - The numbers of External Ports. You can type a service port or a range of
service ports (the format is XXX – YYY, XXX is the start port, YYY is the end port).
IP Address - The IP Address of the PC providing the service application.
Protocol - The protocol used for this application, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols
supported by the router).
¾
¾
¾
Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled.
To setup a virtual server entry:
2. Select the service you want to use from the Common Service Port list. If the Common
Service Port list does not have the service that you want to use, type the number of the
service port or service port range in the Service Port box.
3. Type the IP Address of the computer in the Server IP Address box.
4. Select the protocol used for this application, either TCP or UDP, or All.

)
If you set the virtual server of service port as 80, you must set the Web management port on
Security –> Remote Management page to be any value except 80 such as 8080. Or else there will
be a conflict to disable the virtual server.
4.7.2 Port Triggering
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet
calling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering is
used for some of these applications that can work with an NAT router. You can set up Port
Triggering on this page:

54Mbps Wireless Router User Guide
Figure 4-28 Port Triggering
Once configured, operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the
Trigger Port field.
2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this
entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.
¾
Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will
"Trigger" this rule.
¾
¾
Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all
protocols supported by the router).
Incoming Ports - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the
outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that
triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of
ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or
ALL (all protocols supported by the router).
¾
¾
Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled.
To add a new rule, enter the following data on the Port Triggering screen.
2. Enter a port number used by the application when it generates an outgoing request.
3. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the pull-down list, either TCP, UDP, or All.
4. Enter the range of port numbers used by the remote system when it responds to the PC's
request.
5. Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports Range from the pull-down list, either TCP or
UDP, or All.
6. Select the Enable checkbox to enable.
7. Click the Save button to save the new rule.

Each rule allowed to be used only by one host on LAN synchronously. The trigger connection of
other hosts on LAN will be refused.
Incoming Port Range cannot overlap each other.
4.7.3 DMZ
The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ host forwards all the ports at the
same time. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled
and should have a new static IP Address assigned to it because its IP Address may change when
using the DHCP function. You can set up DMZ host on this page shown in figure 5-29:

access the local host resources or devices as needed. UPnP devices can be automatically
discovered by the UPnP service application on the LAN. You can configure UPnP on this page:

Note:
)
You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If
pinging/tracerouting the IP address is successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name
is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case, ensure that the domain name
you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.

Appendix D: Glossary
Access Point - A device that allows wireless-equipped computers and other devices to
communicate with a wired network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless network.
Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless adapter,
connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless computers operate on
a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without the use of an access point.
Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer
mode, and is useful at a departmental scale or SOHO operation.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - A security method that uses symmetric 128-bit block
data encryption.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) - ATM is a cell based transfer mode that requires variable
length user information to be segmented and reassembled to/from short, fixed length cells. It uses
two different methods for carrying connectionless network interconnect traffic, routed and bridged
Protocol Data Units (PDUs), over an ATM network.
Bridging - A device that connects different networks.
Browser - An application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the
information on the World Wide Web.
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - Allows the hosting of a website, FTP server, or e-mail
Default Gateway - A device that forwards Internet traffic from your local area network.
DHCP - A networking protocol that allows administrators to assign temporary IP addresses to
network computers by “leasing” an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time, instead of
assigning permanent IP addresses.
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - Removes the Router's firewall protection from one PC, allowing it to
be “seen” from the Internet.
DNS (Domain Name Server) - The IP address of your ISP's server, which translates the names
of websites into IP addresses.
