User's Manual
This feature is available only if you are using the Internet Access Server for shared
Internet access, rather than for LAN-to-LAN connection.
The Virtual Servers feature allows Internet users to access standard Servers
on your LAN, via the Internet Access Server.
Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers. However, your LAN must have an existing connection to the Internet. Internet users cannot open a connection.
Virtual Server operation is illustrated below.
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP
Address, but using different protocols.
To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address.
This IP Address is the IP Address on the External LAN Port screen.

The Internet Access Server supports two (2) types of Virtual Servers:
Note that the TOTAL number of Virtual Servers which can be used is 10.

If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed on the Virtual Servers
screen, you can define it using this feature.

|
Enable | Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required. |
IP Address | The IP Address of the PC on your LAN which is running the Server software. |
Protocol | Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server. |
Internal Port Number | Enter the port number used by the Server to connect to clients. |
External Port Number | The port number used by clients when connecting to the Server. This is
normally the same as the Internal Port Number. If it is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation" function, allowing you to configure the server to use one port address, while clients use a different port address |

Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. For the destination address, they must enter the IP Address shown in the IP Address allocated by ISP on the Internet Account screen for the port you are using.
This address should be static (fixed) to make connection easier.
e.g. http://203.70.249.252
It is possible to configure the Internet Access Server itself as a Virtual Web Server.
Once this is done, you can configure this device through the Internet.
For the remote PC, the destination IP Address is the IP Address allocated by ISP
shown on the Internet Account screen, for the port you are using.
Upon connecting to the Internet Access Server, you will be prompted for the device
password.
You should set a password!
