External Port:

Enter the port number of the service that will be sent to the Internal IP address.

Redirect Port:

Enter a new port number for the service that will be sent to the Internal IP address.

Internal IP Address:

Enter the LAN server/host IP address that the service request from the Internet will

be sent to.

Candidates:

You can also select the Candidates which are referred from the ARP table for automatic input.

NOTE: You need to give your LAN server/host a static IP address for the Virtual Server to work properly.

Click Apply to save your changes.

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on

your network. For this reason, using specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application

requires, instead of using DMZ is recommended.

4.4.9 Advanced

Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more

advanced features of MH-1000. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to

reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff.

There are three items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Dynamic DNS and Device

Management

.

4.4.9.1 Static Route

The static route settings enable the router to route IP packets to another network (subnet). The routing

table stores the routing information so the router knows where to redirect the IP packets.
