There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in 

 4-30): Virtual Servers, 

Port Triggering,  DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the 

corresponding function. 

Choose menu “Forwarding→Virtual Servers”, you can view and add virtual servers in the next 

screen (shown in 

). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your 

LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests 

from the Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. 

Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its 

IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.
