the port forwarding rule. For example, if you are
running an FTP server on your local network, you will
need to forward traffic to Port 21.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your
particular software to determine which LAN port you
should be forwarding to.
Public Port
This field is used to configure the external/public
port that incoming traffic from the Internet will be
requesting to use.
In most cases, the public port is the same as the LAN
port.
Enable
This option is used to configure whether Port
Forwarding has been activated for the particular
Port Forwarding entry.
Tick this box to enable the port forward rule for the
entry, or untick the box to disable the port forward
rule.
Clean
Click this button to remove the particular port
forwarding entry. All of the settings configured for
the entry will be deleted.
How to set up a port forwarding entry
In order to set up a port forwarding entry on the Bright Box router, follow these steps:
1.
Reserve an IP address for the computer you wish to set up port forwarding on. You can
do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP admin page. See
how to reserve an IP
address
on page 124 for further information.
2.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
3.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
4.
Click on NAT in the left hand navigation menu to expand the NAT menu items
5.
Click on Port Forwarding in the left hand navigation menu.
6.
Enter the IP address of the computer that you reserved an address for - in the example
below this was 192.168.1.17.
7.
Select the 'protocol type' i.e. 'TCP', 'UDP' or 'TCP&UDP' – in the example below we are
using ‘TCP’
8.
Enter the ‘LAN Port’ - in the example below we're opening port 21 for FTP.

PORT TRIGGERS
Port triggering is similar feature to port forwarding, although it offers a dynamic opening of
specific ports for any computer on your network (whereas port forwarding is specific to a
specific device connected to your network).
This feature is useful when multiple computers on your network need to port forward the
same port at different times, or when the incoming port is different to the outgoing port.
Some applications require multiple connections such as multiplayer gaming, video
conferencing and voice over IP phones. These application will use an outgoing ‘trigger port’,
which can then temporarily open up a range of public ports to allow incoming traffic to reach
the application correctly. When the ports are no longer used they will be automatically closed
by the router.
To configure port triggering, you will need to know which incoming ports an application
needs to use and also the outgoing ‘trigger port’ that is used by the application to trigger the
opening of those incoming ports. Refer to the application manufacturers support
documentation for information on the correct ports to use.
To access the Port Triggers page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on NAT in the left hand navigation menu to expand the NAT menu items
