For example, if a PC on the LAN is hosting a website that must be accessible from the Internet, its
http port (port 80) must be exposed through the firewall. To permit access to this web server, create a
new entry, entering 80 for the WAN Port #. Choose TCP for the Protocol, enter the PC’s IP Address
(e.g. 192.168.101.9) and the Local Port # of 80.
Note: The WAN and LAN Port #s must always be the same.
If port 80 of a PC on the LAN is exposed this way, the Allworx port 80 http service must be disabled.
Uncheck the HTTP (80) checkbox in the Allworx Services section of the page. If the Allworx Internet
web page is to be used, leave the Allworx HTTP box checked and change the http port on the PC to
some other port number (e.g. port 5000).
If port 80 of a PC on the LAN is exposed this way, disable the Allworx port 80 http service. Uncheck
the HTTP (80) checkbox in the Allworx Services section of the page.
If using the Allworx Internet web page, leave the Allworx HTTP box checked and change the http
port on the PC to some other port number (e.g. port 5000).
Due to security requirements, do not use the Allworx server’s LAN IP address as an IP Address, in
the table above. To access the Allworx LAN interface from the Internet, use the server’s VPN feature.
