Figure 8-8: Add Port Forwarding Rule
 Select the 'Specify Public IP Address' check box if you would like to apply this
rule on Watson's non-default IP address, defined in the 'NAT' screen (refer to
Section 8.2.7).
Figure 8-9: Specify Public IP Address
 Enter the additional external IP address in the 'Public IP Address' field.
 Enter the host name or IP address of the computer that will provide the service
(the "server") in the 'Local Host' field. Note that unless an additional external IP
address has been added, only one LAN computer can be assigned to provide a
specific service or application.
 The Protocol drop-down menu menu lets you select or specify the type of pro-
tocol that will be used. Selecting the 'Show All Services' option will expand the
list of available protocols. Select a protocol or add a new one using the 'User
Defined' option. This will commence a sequence that will add a new service,
representing the protocol. Refer to Section 8.9.1 in order to learn how to do so.
 By default, Watson will forward traffic to the same port as the incoming port. If
you wish to redirect traffic to a different port, select the 'Specify' option. The
screen will refresh, and an additional field will appear enabling you to enter the
port number:

 The 'Schedule' drop-down menu allows you to define the time period during
which this rule will take effect. By default, the rule will always be active. Howev-
er, you can configure scheduler rules by selecting 'User Defined'. To learn how
to configure scheduler rules, refer to Section 9.9.3.
