Virtual Server

Access > Virtual Server

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or

required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer

or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ

(see

DMZ on page 27) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports

used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera

(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on

your network to be able to view it over the Internet.

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual

Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service (See

DynDNS section).

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page”

on page 21).

2. Click on Access, and click on Virtual Server.

To simplify configuration, there is a list of commonly used pre-defined virtual server

entries to modify, otherwise, you can choose to manually add a new virtual server.

3. Review the virtual server settings.

• Enabled: Selecting Enabled turns on the virtual server and selecting Disabled turns

off the virtual server.

• Name: Enter a name for the virtual server.

• Protocol: Select the protocol required for your device. TCP, UDP, or you can select

Both to choose both TCP & UDP (recommended).

Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and

protocols are required.

• Private Port: Enter the port number required by your device. Refer to the

connecting device’s documentation for reference to the network port(s) required.

• Public Port: Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.
