Port Forwarding
Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Custom Setup” screen generates the “Port

ed, activate it by clicking on its “On” radio button, then enter the IP address of the
computer on the network receiving the selected service.
Advanced Port Forwarding Settings
Clicking Advanced Port Forwarding Settings generates the “Advanced Port
Forwarding” screen. This screen allows the user more control over port forwarding
settings. To configure:

IP Port Range” text boxes. (If more than 10
ports are needed, Actiontec recommends using DMZ Hosting. See “DMZ
Hosting.”)
