Chapter 4 Congure the Router in Wireless Router Mode
• If the service you want to use is not in the Common Services list, you can enter the corresponding
parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.
• You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that
the External Port should not be overlapped.
Done!
Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example: http://
218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Note:
• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port to visit the
website.
• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is
recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to “Dynamic DNS”. Then users
on the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website.
4. 6. 2. Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external
ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is
mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications
including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players and more.
Follow the steps below to congure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit http://mwlogin.net, and log in with your Mercusys ID or the password you set
for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering.
