Configuring Your Device 31
Port Forwarding Applications
A number of common server applications are listed. To use any of
these applications, follow this procedure:
1. Install the application on a personal computer on your local
WLAN.
2. Ensure the personal computer is connected to this device,
and record the personal computer's IP address for the
Wi-Fi interface.
3. On this screen, enter the personal computer's IP Address
in the
IP Address on WLAN
field beside the application.
4. Enable this application on this screen by checking its
checkbox.
5. Save your changes with the
Apply
button.
6. On the Home screen, make a note of the Internet IP
address of this device.
7. Ask users on the Internet to connect to the Internet IP
address of this device. These connection requests will be
forwarded to the IP address specified in step 3.
8. When no longer needed, the application should be disabled
on this screen by unchecking its checkbox, and saving this
change with the
Apply
button. Leaving applications
enabled unnecessarily creates a security risk.
Note:
Some 3G Mobile Wireless Networks do not provide you with an Internet
IP address, but an IP address on their own network. In this case, Port
Forwarding can not be used because Internet users cannot reach your
IP address.
IP Address on WLAN
This is the IP address of the PC, server, or device on the local
WLAN which is running this application. If an application is
enabled, an IP address is required. Otherwise, this field may be
blank.
