D-Link DSL-2740R

Section 3 - Configuration

Daylight Saving time ends in most parts of the United States on the

first Sunday of November. Each time zone in the United States must

use Daylight Saving time at 2:00 A.M. Thus, in the United States you

must set November, First, Sunday, at 2:00 A.M as your end time.

Daylight Saving time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday

of October. For instance, in Germany you must type 2 because

Germany’s time zone is 1 hour ahead of GMT (GMT+1). Thus, in

Germany you must use March, Last, Sunday, at 1:00 A.M.

Advanced

This chapter includes the more advanced features used for network management and security as well as administrative tools to manage the router,

view status, and other information used to examine performance, and for troubleshooting.

Port Forwarding

Use the

PORT FORWARDING

window to open ports in your router and re-direct data through those ports to a single PC on your network (WAN-

to-LAN traffic). The Port Forwarding function allows remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for

e-mail. The DSL-2740R 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.
