Example of configuring port forwarding rule

Network requirement
You have set up an FTP server (such as in a computer) within your LAN.

Requirement: Open the FTP server to internet users and enable external computers to access
the resources of the FTP server from the internet.

Solution
You can configure a port forwarding rule to meet this requirement.

Assume that the information of the FTP server includes:

− IP address: 192.168.0.136
− Service port: 21
− Protocol: TCP
and the WAN IP address of the hotspot: 183.38.7.216.

Before the configuration, ensure that the WAN port of the hotspot obtains a public IP address; if the
WAN port obtains a private IP address or an intranet IP address assigned by the ISP (starting with 100),
the function may not take effect. Commonly-used IPv4 private IP addresses include 10.0.0.0 to
10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.

Configuration procedures
Step 1 Click Advanced Settings > Firewall > Port Forwarding.
Step 2 Set Virtual Server Settings to Enable, and click Apply.
Step 3 Set IP Address to 192.168.0.136.
Step 4 Set Port Range to 21-21.
Step 5 Select TCP as the Protocol.
Step 6 Fill in the Comment, such as FileServer, and click Apply.

61
 Version 1.0

Verification
External computers can access the intranet through the IP format Server Type://Your
Hotspot’s WAN IP:Port Number. Here in this example, external computers can access the file
in the FTP server within the LAN by entering ftp:// 183.38.7.216:21 in a browser.

8.3.4 UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that allows networked devices,
such as PCs, printers, internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices, to seamlessly
discover each other’s presence on the network and establish functional network services for data
sharing, communications, and entertainment.

Although UPnP facilitates networking among different devices, note that this function may raise
the risk of being attacked. Use this function with caution.

Click Advanced Settings > Firewall > UPnP to enter the page.

8.3.5 DMZ
In some cases, you may need to have your device completely exposed to external networks for

62
 Version 1.0

bidirectional communication. To do so, set it as a DMZ host.

If a client cannot access the internet properly, you can try this function. If the DMZ function is
enabled for a specific client, the client is not protected by the firewall of the device. Therefore, use
this function with caution.

Click Advanced Settings > Firewall > DMZ to enter the page.

To use the DMZ function, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Set DMZ Settings to Enable.
Step 2 Set IP Address to the IP address of the client that requires the DMZ function.
