on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the

port assigned a port number and a specic task. For example, port 80
is used for HTTP. A specic port can only be used by one application
or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting to access data
through the same port at the same time would fail. For example, you
cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for two PCs at the same
time.
• Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding
work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.
