Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to set up a server connected to the terminal while the terminal is
in Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from
the Internet.
We recommend using a static public IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access
to the terminal.
The following example shows how to allow Internet access to a mail server (smtp) connected
to the terminal.
The mail server in this example has the IP address 192.168.0.100.
1. From the Control panel
, select Port forwarding.
2. Select Forward port to add a new port forwarding.
3. Select Active to activate the port forwarding.
4. Type in the Incoming port start and the Incoming port end.
This is the range of port numbers on the EXPLORER 710 for which incoming traffic to the
EXPLORER 710 will be forwarded.
5. Type in the Destination IP address, which in this example is the IP address of the mail
server: 192.168.0.100.
This is the IP address to which the incoming traffic is forwarded.
6. Type in the Destination port start and the Destination port end.
This is the range of port numbers, in this example on the mail server, to which the
incoming traffic will be forwarded.
7. Click Save.
You can now access the mail server from the Internet, using the public IP address of the
terminal.
