5.2b: Network Configuration: Port Forwarding
Location: System > Port Forwarding
The Port Forwarding tool allows the user to permit and redirect incomming information through specifc ports, for a
particular device. This tool is useful in getting some applications and devices working through Pandora’s Hope, which
may requrie a specifc port to be open.
To create a port forwarding rule:
Enter in a name for the new rule in the “Application Name” field.
Enter in the “From port” number. This will be the original port n umber
Enter in the IP address for the device you would like the rule to govern.
Enter in the “To port” number. This number is set by the user.
-If the “To” and “From” ports are identical, traffic across that port will not be redirected, but permitted
-If the “To” and “From” ports differ, traffic coming through the “From” port will be redirected to the “To” port
Select the Protocol to be used by the port forwarding rule.
To create the new port forwarding rule, press the “Add” button
Once all of the desired rules have been added, press “Save”
