Virtual Server

Advanced > Virtual Server

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or

required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer

or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ

(see “

DMZ

” on page 34) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports

used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera

(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on

your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer

to “

Gaming

” section on page 37.

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual

Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service

(outlined in

Identify Your Network

section pg.39).

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Note:

Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and

protocols are required.

You should assign a static IP address to the device or

use DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.

•

Public Port:

Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.

•

LAN IP Address:

Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g.

Note:

The

Public Port

can be assigned a different port number than the

Private

Port

(also known as port redirection), however it is recommended to use the

same port number for both settings. Please refer to the device documentation

to determine which ports and protocols are required.

•

Enabled:

Selecting

Enabled

turns on the virtual server and unchecking disabled

the rule..

Example: To forward TCP port 80 to your IP camera

Setup DynDNS service (see

Identify Your Network

section pg.39).

Access TRENDnet IP Camera management page and forward Port 80 (see product

documentation)

Make sure to configure your network/IP camera to use a static IP address.

Note:

You may need to reference your camera documentation on configuring a

static IP address.

Special Applications

Advanced > Special Application

Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming

applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several

ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will

wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a

device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will

forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on

your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently

use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow

access for applications. See “

Enable/disable UPnP on your router

” on page 39.

Note:

Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports

UPnP first, before configuring this feature.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Advanced

, and click on

Special Application

3. Select

Enable

under

Port Triggering Function

4. Review the special application settings. Click

Apply

game) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer or device) on your network.

which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports used by an application. Since

Add static routes to your router

Advanced > Routing

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to

other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be

determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for

the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another

network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these

two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate

between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an

example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network

to access the other network.

Note:

Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking

knowledge.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Advanced

, and click on

Enable/disable UPnP on your router

Advanced > Advanced Network

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows devices connected to a network to discover each

other and automatically open the connections or services for specific applications (e.g.

instant messenger, online gaming applications, etc.) UPnP is enabled on your router by

default to allow specific applications required by your computers or devices to allow

connections through your router as they are needed.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Advanced

, and click on

Advanced Network

3. Next to

UPnP

, select Enable or

Disable

on the pull down menu to turn the feature on

or off on your router.

Note:

It is recommended to leave this setting enabled, otherwise, you may encounter

issues with applications that utilize UPnP in order allow the required communication

between your computers or devices and the Internet.

Identify your network on the Internet

Administrator > Management

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on

your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet

requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this

management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the

given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability

to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your

ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify

your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and

other devices on your local area network.

Note:

First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in

the

Server Address

drop-down list

1. Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under

Server Address

(e.g

. dyndns.com,

etc.)

2. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page
