UPnP

UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices. When

enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its

capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if

available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects

to the device or other devices on the network.

UPnP is a protocol supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewire, phone line, and power line

networking.

Virtual Server

Use the

Virtual Server

window to set up single-port, trigger port or static-port range forwarding rules applied to

inbound (WAN-to-LAN) traffic. The Virtual Server function allows remote users to access services on your LAN such

as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The WBMR-G54 will accept remote requests for these services

at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and then redirect these requests

to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify. Remember that the specified Private IP Address must

be within the useable range of the subnet occupied by the Router.

UDP/TCP port redirection is used to direct inbound traffic to the specified servers or workstations on your private

network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your

firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ.

You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming ports. Each set of

instructions or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.

The Virtual Server options include a list of preconfigured rules (listed below) for commonly used protocols in the

Virtual Server List. To enable a preconfigured rule, click the selection box for the rule you want to enable and click the

Apply

button.

Note

Use the LAN Clients window to select eligible IP addresses before configuring forwarding

rules.

To configure a new port-forwarding rule for any of the pre-configured rules, follow these steps:

1.

Select the WAN connection you want to use for the new rule from the

Connection

pull-down menu.

2.

Select a

LAN IP

from the available client IP addresses listed in the pull-down menu; or, create a

New IP

by

clicking the button. This brings up the

The Available Rules can be applied to a single client IP address. That is, it is not possible to use an applied rule for

multiple IP addresses on the LAN.

Custom Forwarding Rules

The

User

category for port forwarding is used to set up customized port forwarding rules.

To set up custom TCP or UDP port forwarding rules, follow these steps:
