 Port Forwarding: Normally, incoming traffic (from the internet) is blocked. Port forwarding
means you forward incoming traffic to specific ports/devices (through their local IP address) on
your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network. One example is to configure port forwarding so you can access
your Remote Desktop from the internet (by specifying the WAN (public) IP Address the computer
is using. Another example is to allow internet users to access a Web, FTP, or email server or
gaming application hosted by your computer.
 Port Triggering: Some applications require multiple ports open for communication, many of
which may be initiated by a computer on the WAN. Examples include video conferencing, VoIP
(internet telephony) and internet gaming. With port triggering, the device monitors outgoing data
on specific port numbers (trigger ports). The device keeps track of the IP Address of the devices
that send data on these trigger ports, so when incoming traffic (on the forward ports) arrives, the
device sends the incoming data to the same device.
 DMZ: A DMZ is a “Demilitarized Zone” between a secure internal network and an unsecured
network such as the internet. Usually devices or computers that require less restrictive settings
are placed in a DMZ. Configuring this option requires the IP Address of the host.
 UPnP: Universal Plug and Play provides simple and robust connectivity among consumer
electronics, intelligent appliances, and mobile devices from many different manufacturers.
 SPI: Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering, helps to prevent cyber-
attacks by validating that the traffic passing through a session conforms to the protocol used by
the type of session. Packets that don’t conform are rejected.
 Router Settings Reset: Reset the router settings to the factory default settings.
