Configuring the Wireless-G Router

Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster
The Port Forwarding screen sets up public services on your
network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers,
or other specialized Internet applications. (Specialized
Internet applications are any applications that use Internet
access to perform functions such as videoconferencing
or online gaming. Some Internet applications may not
require any forwarding.)
When users send this type of request to your network via
the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the
appropriate PC. Any PC whose port is being forwarded
must have its DHCP client function disabled and must
have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP
address may change when using the DHCP function.
Application Name Enter the name you wish to give the
application. Each name can be up to 12 characters.
Port Range Start/End This is the port range. Enter the
number that starts the port range under Start and the
number that ends the range under End.
Protocol Enter the protocol used for this application,
either TCP or UDP, or Both.
IP Address For each application, enter the IP Address of
the PC running the specific application.
Enabled Click the Enabled checkbox to enable port
forwarding for the relevant application.

Firewall > Port Triggering
Firewall > Port Triggering
Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications
whose outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports.
For this feature, the Router will watch outgoing data for
specific port numbers. The Router will remember the
IP address of the computer that sends a transmission
requesting data, so that when the requested data returns
through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper
computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
Application In this field, enter the name you wish to give
the application. Each name can be up to 12 characters.
Triggered Range Start Port/End Port Enter the number
that starts the triggered port range under Start Port and
the number that ends the range under End Port.
Forwarded Range Start Port/End Port Enter the number
that starts the forwarded port range under Start Port and
the number that ends the range under End Port.
Protocol Enter the protocol used for this application,
either TCP or UDP, or Both.
Enabled Click the Enabled checkbox to enable port
triggering for the relevant application.

Firewall > DMZ
The DMZ screen allows one local PC to be exposed to
the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as
Internet gaming and videoconferencing through Software
DMZ. Whereas Port Range Forwarding can only forward a
maximum of 10 ranges of ports, DMZ hosting forwards all
the ports for one PC at the same time.
Firewall > DMZ
Software DMZ This feature allows one local PC to be
exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service
such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. To use
this feature, select Enabled. To disable the Software DMZ
feature, select Disabled.
DMZ Host IP Address To expose one PC, enter the
computer’s IP address.
