2. Click Connection. Under WAN Status, view the wide area network (WAN) IP address of the Smart Hub. For example 10.2.1.123.

3. In the browser of an external user, enter the FTP server address (ftp://10.2.1.123) and access the FTP services provided by the device whose IP address is 192.168.20.101.

By default, the FTP service port is 21. If this port is changed (for example, it is changed to 8021), the external user must enter ftp://10.2.1.123:8021 to access the FTP server.

8.6 Configuring the Special Applications The Smart Hub supports the function to use a special application to configure dynamic port forwarding. Certain applications in the local area network (LAN) must use a specified port of the firewall to access remote applications. To set up a Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) connection between an application in the LAN and a remote application, the firewall uses this port forwarding function to open the required port.

Example of the Configuration of a Special Application A device in the LAN uses TCP to access the MSN game server through port 47624. When the game starts, the game server uses TCP and port 2400 to set up a connection to the device that tries to access the server. In this case, you must


Online Help

Issue 01 (2013-02-05) 25

configure dynamic port forwarding, because the game conflicts with the following default firewall rules:

The firewall blocks external data input. The game server can send a connection request to the external IP address of the

Smart Hub but cannot send the request to the LAN device that tries to access the game server, because the IP addresses of devices are not open to external devices.

To solve this problem, you must define a set of port forwarding rules. When the device in the LAN sends data to TCP port 47624, the rules allow data input from TCP port 2400. Then data from the game server can be received from and transmitted to the LAN device that sends data to TCP port 47624.

Name Status Trigger Protocol

8.7 Configuring the DMZ If external users cannot access certain network services provided by the local area network (LAN), use the DMZ function provided by the Smart Hub to set the device that provides the required network services as the DMZ host; external users can then access these services properly. DMZ is an acronym for the demilitarized zone in networks.

Prerequisites DMZ users are not protected by the firewall and may be easily attacked. In addition, the security of other users in the LAN is compromised.
