ConnectGear gr-104 v3.0 User Guide

 
Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle 
different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. 
Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application 
type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the 
Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number. (See 
Glossary for an explanation on Port number)
