3.2.7 Port Forwarding

The table on the Port forwarding tab includes the allowed accesses from the Internet to the devices connected on LAN ports and DSL lines.

Typically, an external user is allowed to be connected via WAN/MN to the port on the IP address in the LAN using a router.

Examples of use:

• routing of port 443 for HTTPS access inside the private LAN from WAN/MN,
• routing of port 554 for RTSP access inside the private LAN from WAN/MN,
• routing of port 7007 for LiftIP Service tool access inside the private LAN from WAN/MN,
• routing of port 5060 for SIP call into the internal private LAN from WAN/MN (default SIP port is 5060 – programmable on the device).

• Protocol – TCP or UDP.
• Port – port number (0 to 65535). 
• Target IP – internal IP address of a device on a LAN port or DSL line.
• Target port – required port of a device on a LAN port or DSL line.
• Interface – for selected connection (MN, WAN, LAN, VPN) or any.
• Source IP – for a remote device with this IP address, or with any address if the parameter is empty.
• Description – user definable field for a port forwarding description.
