Port Forwarding
Port forwarding allows selected servers running on the LAN side of the router to be accessed from the
WAN side. Requests from the WAN to a configured TCP or UDP port will be forwarded to the selected IP
address on the LAN. NAPT functionality ensures that the LAN-side server is known to the WAN only
through the public IP address. The server’s actual private IP address remains unknown to any WAN-side
hosts.
To configure port forwarding:
1. Select
Setup>Port Forwarding
from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the
“Port Forwarding Configuration” window.
2. Under
Add/Edit Entry
, do one of the following:
Select the service you want to configure from the
Select service by name
drop-down menu.
Select the protocol you want to configure from the
Select protocol
drop down menu. This can be
TCP, UDP, ICMP, or GRE. If you select TCP or UDP you must also specify either a single port or
range of ports that apply.
3.
Select one of the following:
Redirect selected protocol/service to this router
Select this option if you want inbound traffic forwarded to the SpeedStream.
Redirect selected protocol/service to IP address
Select this option if you want inbound traffic forwarded to a host located on the LAN. In this case,
you must specify the IP address of the host on which the server resides.
4. Click
Apply
.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Microsoft UPnP allows the Router to communicate directly with certain Windows operating systems to
trade information about the special needs of certain applications (such as messaging programs and
interactive games) as well as provide information about other devices on the network, where applicable.
This communication between the operating system and Router greatly reduces the amount of manual
configuration required to use new applications and devices.
Only certain versions of Windows XP and computer support the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) function.
Before configuring this option, you must ensure that the UPnP component is installed on your computer
and enabled.
To enable UPnP functionality:
1. Select
Setup>UPnP
from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “UPnP
Configuration” window.
2.
Select one of the following control options.
Disable UPnP
Prevents the Router from using the UPnP feature to communicate with other devices or your
operating system. Also may be disabled if your operating system does not support UPnP.
Enable Discovery and Advertisement only (SSDP)
Sends information about new devices (hardware) detected only. No information concerning
software applications or services is transmitted.
Enable full Internet Gateway Device (IGD) support
Allows the Router to communicate freely with computers on the network about new devices,
software applications, and services as needed to ensure they are working with minimal manual
configuration required.
3.
Select one of the following options:
Enable access logging
Generates a system log message whenever an UPnP client accesses the router.
Read-only mode
Restricts the kind of access an UPnP client can have into the router. Only requests in the UPnP
protocol that query the status of the router are allowed. Any requests that could potentially modify
the router’s behavior are blocked.
4. Click
Apply
to accept the settings. This displays the “UPnP Finish” window.

Bridge Mode
The Router supports two fundamental modes of operation with respect to connectivity between the Local
Area Network (LAN) and the Wide Area Network (WAN): bridge/routing mode and bridge mode.
The default mode of operation is bridge/routing mode. With bridge/routing mode, the Router provides
typical routing functionality between the WAN side and the LAN side. However, all LAN-side interfaces
are "bridged."
The second mode of operation provides only "bridging" functionality. This applies to both WAN-to-LAN
connectivity as well as to all LAN-side interfaces. Point-to-Point (PPP) connections are not available
under the bridge mode of operation.
Important!
If you switch to Bridge mode, you will lose access to the Web management interface and can
only return to Router mode by resetting the Router to factory defaults.
To change to bridge mode:
1. Select
Setup>Bridge Mode
from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the
“Change to Bridge Mode” window.
2. Click
Apply
.

Server Ports
Common applications such as HTTP (Web site traffic), FTP, and Telnet use pre-defined incoming port
numbers for compatibility with other services. If you wish to change the ports used by these applications
you may do so using this option. This feature is recommended for use by advanced users only.
To configure the server port option:
1. Select
Setup>Server Ports
from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the
“SpeedStream Gateway Server Ports” window.
2.
Optionally, type a port number in the
HTTP
box. The default port for this field is 80.
3.
Optionally, type a port number in the
FTP
box. The default port for this field is 21.
4.
Optionally, type a port number in the
Telnet
box. The default port for this field is 23.
5. Click
Apply
. This displays the “Your settings have been saved” window.
6. Optionally, click
Reboot
if you wish for the settings to immediately be implemented. The system
responds by restarting your Router.

Dynamic DNS
Use the dynamic DNS advanced option to set up Dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS translates IP addresses
into alphanumeric names. For example, an IP address of 333.136.249.80 could be translated into
siemens.com. To use the DDNS service, you must register for the service. You can register from the
following web page:
www.dydns.org/services/dydns
.
Once registered, you must set up your DNS data on the Router. Once this is done, users can connect to
your servers (or DMZ computer) from the Internet using your Domain name. Refer to the section in this
document titled
DMZ
for more information on DMZs.
To set up Dynamic DNS on the Router:
1. Select
Setup>Dynamic DNS
from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the
“Set Up Dynamic DNS” window.
2. Select the
Enable
option under
Dynamic DNS Client
.
3.
Type the name provided to you by
www.dydns.org
in the
Service Username
box.
4. Type your
www.dydns.org
password in the
Password
box.
5.
Type the domain or host name provided by
www.dydns.org
in the
Host Name 1
box.
6.
Optionally, if you have more than one domain or host name, type it in the
Host Name 2
box.
7. Click
Apply
. The system responds by registering your domain or host name to
www.dydns.org
.
