Use Remote Access
To use remote access:
1. Launch an Internet browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2. Type your router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by 
a colon (:) and the custom port number. 
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, 
enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.

Port Forwarding to a Local Server
If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to 
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or 
game server visible and available to the Internet.
The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local  network. 
 You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a d\
efault DMZ 
server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.
Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1.  Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2.  Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will prov\
ide the service.
The server computer must always use the same IP address. To specify this setting, use  the reserved IP address feature. See Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses  on page
  65.
3.  Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that \
is connected to 
the network.
4.  Enter  orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
5.  Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password . The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
7. Leave the  Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.
8.  In the Service Name menu, select the service name.
If the service that you want to add is not in the list, create a custom \
service. See Add a 
Custom Port Forwarding Service on page  95.

Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web 
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. 
To make a local web server public:
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP 
address reservation. 
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33. 
2. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page, configure the router to forward the HTTP 
service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33. 
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and specify that name on the 
Dynamic DNS page of the router. 
Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet because you 
can type the name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the IP address that 
the ISP assigned, which typically changes.

How the Router Implements the Port Forwarding Rule
The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:
1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends a web 
page request message with the following destination information: 
•Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of 
your router.
•Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server 
process.
2. Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80 
traffic. 
3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.1.123 and sends 
the message to that computer.
4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.1.123 receives the request and sends a reply 
message to your router.
5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and 
sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or WiFi device that sent the web page 
request. 
Port Triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not 
simultaneously).
•An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port 
that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address of the 
computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that 
you specify in your rule and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local 
computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and 
close the ports when they are no longer needed.
Add a Port Triggering Service
To add a port triggering service:
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is 
connected to the network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.

3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 
The Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page displays.
5.  Select the Port T
 riggering radio button.
The page adjusts.
6.  Click the  Add Service button.
7. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name. 
8.  In the Service User menu, select  Any
 , or select Single address and enter the IP address 
of one computer:
• Any  (the default) allows any computer on the Internet to use this service\
. 
• Single address restricts the service to a particular computer
 . 
9.  Select the service type, either  TCP or UDP or  TCP/UDP (both). 
If you are not sure, select TCP/UDP .
10.  In the T
riggering Port  field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will open the 
inbound ports. 
11.  Enter the inbound connection port information in the  Connection T
 ype, Starting Port, and 
Ending Port  fields.
12.  Click the  Apply button.
The service is now in the Portmap Table. You must enable port triggering before the  router used port triggering for the service that you added. See Enable Port Triggering  on 
page

Enable Port Triggering
To enable port triggering: 
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that \
is 
connected to the network.
2.  Enter  orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3.  Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password . The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
The Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page displays.
5.  Select the  Port T
 riggering radio button.
6. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box.
If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering e\
ven if you specified 
port triggering settings.
7.  In the Port T
 riggering Timeout  field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes. 
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router\
 detects no  activity
 . This value is required because the router cannot detect when the applica\
tion 
terminates.
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat 
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to m\
ultiple port 
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more inc\
oming ports when a 
particular outgoing port starts a session.
