Forwarding Rules
The forwarding rules section deals with NAT traversal. Using the Virtual Server settings port forwarding can be configured. Special
AP settings can be used to configure port triggering. In the Miscellaneous section a DMZ host can be configured and UPnP can be
enabled or disabled.
Virtual Server
The Virtual Server page allows you to direct incoming traffic from the Internet side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the
internal server with a private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted
to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side. A maximum of 20 entries can be configured. In addition a series of
pre-configured commonly used ports can be selected for easy setup.

Special AP
The Special AP page allows the router to be configured for port triggering. Port triggering allows a client device connected to the
router to dynamically and automatically forward a specific port back to itself. Port triggering opens an incoming port when your
computer is using a specified outgoing port for specific traffic. A selection of common port triggering settings come preconfigured
on the NF2 for easy setup.

OPTION
DEFINITION
Trigger
Enter the outgoing trigger port be opened by a device connected to the router.
Incoming Ports
Enter the incoming port number or port ranges. For a port range use a dash (-) between the lower and upper
range numbers; e.g. 5000-6000. Use a comma between multiple numbers.
Enable
Select this option to enable or disable the port triggering rule.
Table 21: Advanced - Forwarding Rules - Port Triggering Settings
Miscellaneous
The miscellaneous page gives the user the option of enabling or disabling UPnP protocol or the option to assign a device connected
to the router as a DMZ host. A DMZ host is a host on the internal network that has all ports exposed to a WAN connection, except
those ports otherwise forwarded.
