030-300536 Rev. A 108 August 2007 User GuideVersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) If you clicked Add, the following screen will be displayed. Click Create. If you clicked Create, the following Create Port Forwarding Service screen will appear. Using this screen, you can create port forwarding and port triggering services for your Router. The following sections explain how to customize these services in your Router. • Port Forwarding Ranges of Ports: This option allows you to forward a range of WAN ports to an IP address on the LAN. • Trigger Ports: This option allows you to forward a range of ports to an IP address on the LAN only after specific outbound traffic. 030-300536 Rev. A 109 August 2007 User GuideVersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) 15.3.3.3.1 Creating a Service Based on Specific Port Forwarding Ports The Port Forwarding feature allows you to forward a range of WAN ports to an IP address on the LAN. You can set up a port forwarding entry based on your specific ports. IMPORTANT: Using various Internet applications depends on the Router’s firewall settings. Make sure that the Router’s firewall is set to Medium Security or lower to take advantage of all the port forwarding features. Firewall settings take precedence over port forwarding services configured in the Router. For example, if the firewall is set to Medium Security, this will block ICMP packets even if the ICMP service is enabled. If a port forwarding service is not working, try setting the firewall to a lower setting. To create a port forwarding service based on specific port forwarding ports, at the Create Port Forwarding Service screen, do the following: 1. Type the name of the custom service that you are creating in the field provided. This will be the name of the port forwarding service for which you are configuring specific Port Forwarding rules. 2. Click the Port Forwarding option. 3. Select the desired protocol from the Protocol drop-down menu. 4. Enter the desired Global Port Start, Global Port End, and Base Host Port values in the fields provided, as shown in the example below. 5. Select the desired direction settings 6. Click Apply to allow the changes to take effect. NOTE: If you clicked Cancel in the Create Port Forwarding Service screen, the service you created will be displayed; however, it will not be activated in your Router. You must click Apply to allow the settings to take effect. 030-300536 Rev. A 110 August 2007 User GuideVersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) Port Forwarding Service Protocol TCP – Transmission Control Protocol UDP – User Datagram Protocol Global Port Start The WAN-side TCP/UDP start port. Global Port End The WAN-side TCP/UDP end port. Base Host Port The port on the WAN that will host the port forwarding service selected. Base Host Port is the first port that will be used for a specific service when configured for a range of ports. Direction/ Port Directon The port direction for the port forwarding rule. If you clicked Apply, the following Service Details screen will be displayed. Click Done. 7. Return to the New Port Forwarding Rule screen and, from the drop-down menu, select the name of the custom service that you created (the name should appear at the bottom of the list under Custom Defined Service). 030-300536 Rev. A 111 August 2007 User GuideVersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) This screen displays the service name in the field. 8. Select how the service will be activated. • Host allows unsolicited inbound traffic to a particular PC on the LAN. • Dynamic enables inbound traffic based on specific outbound traffic. 9. Select the IP address of the device that will host the service (select a device from the Select a Discovered LAN device drop-down menu or type an IP address in the field provided). 10.
