IPTV

If your ISP provides IPTV service and has provided some detailed IPTV parameters, you

can configure your Touch P5 to permit IPTV connection.

Configure IPTV setup to enable Internet /IPTV /Phone service

provided by my Internet Service Provider (ISP).

1. Visit

http://tplinkwifi.net

, and then log in with the username

and password you set for your Touch P5.

2. Go to

Advanced

>

Network

>

IPTV

.

3.

If your ISP provides the networking service based on IGMP

technology

, e.g., British Telecom (BT) and TalkTalk in UK:

1 ) Select the

IGMP Proxy

checkbox and select the

IGMP Version

,

either V2 or V3, according to information provided by your

ISP.

2 ) Click

Save

.

3 ) After configuring IGMP proxy, IPTV can work behind your

Touch P5 now. You can connect your set-top box to any of

your Touch P5’s LAN port.

If IGMP is not the technology your ISP applies to provide

IPTV service:

1 ) Select the

Enable IPTV

check box.

2 ) Select the appropriate

Mode

according to your ISP. Select

Bridge

if your ISP is not listed and no other parameters are

required, and then skip to Step 4. Select

are predetermined. You can perform other configuration, e.g.

entering the

IPTV Multicast VLAN ID

and selecting the

IPTV

Multicast VLAN Priority

in

Russia

mode according to your ISP.

4 ) For Russia, Singapore-ExStream, Malaysia-Unifi and Malaysia-

Maxis mode, connect the set-top box to the predetermined

LAN port. For Bridge and Custom mode, select the

LAN

type

and connect the set-top box to the corresponding port.

5 ) Click

Save

.

Your IPTV setup is done now! You may need to configure your

set-top box before enjoying your TV.

NAT Forwarding

Touch P5’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices in the LAN use

the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the local

network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the

problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified device

in the local network.

With the forwarding feature, your Touch P5 can penetrate the isolation of NAT and

allow external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with devices in the local

network, thus realizing some special functions.

Touch P5 includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of

implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ.

Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server

When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet,

Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the Internet users. At the same

time Virtual Server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible

from the Internet.

Virtual Server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as

HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services applies different service ports.

Port 80 is used for HTTP service, port 21 for FTP service, port 25 for SMTP service and port

110 for POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my

friends through the Internet.

For example

: The personal website has been built in my home

computer (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends in the Internet

can visit my website in some way. The computer is connected to

your Touch P5 with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

Note:

1.

It is recommended to keep the default settings of

Internal Port

and

Protocol

if you

are not clear about which port and protocol to use.

2. If the service you want to use is not in the list of

Service Type

, you can enter the

corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the service port number.

3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in

your Touch P5. Please note that the

External Port

cannot be overlapped.

Users in the Internet can enter

Service Type://WAN IP

to visit

your local resources (in this case, enter http://218.18.232.154 to

visit your personal website).

Note:

1. The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically

by ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by

DDNS. Then you can use

Service Type://Domain Name

to visit your local resources.

2.

If you have changed the default External Port, you should use

Service Type://WAN

IP:External Port

or

Service Type://Domain Name:External Port

to visit your local

resources.

2. 23. 2.

Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.

When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the

external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. Your Touch P5 can record

the IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports,

your Touch P5 can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly

applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN

Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players, etc.

Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
