Manage Port Forwarding
You can use port forwarding to set up rules for Internet traffic for services and applications. You need networking
knowledge to set up these features.
If you connect the modem to a switch to expand the local network and include a server in your local network,
you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local
web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. You can specify the server for an
application. The modem can then forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to a server or computer on
your local network.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•Forward Incoming Traffic for a Default Service or Application on page 90
• Add a P
ort Forwarding Rule With a Custom Service or Application
 on page 91
• Change a P
ort Forwarding Rule
 on page 92
• Remo
ve a Port Forwarding Rule

							Forward Incoming Traffic for a Default Service or
Application
You can forward traffic for a default service or application to a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application: 1.
Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting, use the reserved
IP address feature. See Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses on page 60.
3. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the network.
4. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
5. Enter the modem user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6. Select 
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding. 7.
From the 
Service Name menu, select the service or application.
If the service or application that you want to add is not in the list, create a port forwarding rule with a
custom service or application (see 
Add a Port Forwarding Rule With a Custom Service or Application
on page 
91).
8. In the Server IP Address field, enter the IP address of the computer that must provide the service or
that r

uns the application.
