Port forwarding
Remote computers can access applications or services hosted on a local network with the Digi EX15
by setting up port forwarding. It provides mapping instructions that direct incomming traffic to the
proper device on a LAN.
To configure port forwarding:
1. Under Firewall > Port Forwarding, click the Add button.
2. Select the external WAN interface that will accept the communications on the incoming port
and forward them to the LANclient.
3. The IP version and Protocol can be left at their default values unless changes are required by
the request being serviced by this port-forwarding configuration.
4. Specify the public-facing Port for remote access.
5. In the To fields, specify the port and IP address associated with the intended destination
device.
6. If necessary, expand the Access Control List to create a white list that determines which
devices are authorized to leverage this particular forwarding route.
Note Both individual IP addresses and entire zones may be white listed.
Packet filtering
Enabled by default, packet filtering will monitor traffic going to and from the Digi EX15. The predefined
settings are intended to block unauthorized inbound traffic while providing an unrestricted flow of
data from LAN to WAN.
