VisionNet M605N Page 10 End User Manual Revision 3.1 Section 4.2 RESERVING AN IP ADDRESS WITHIN THE DHCP SERVER DEFINITION OF RESERVED IP Some applications (Such as Port Triggering and DMZ Host) require a Static IP Address. Some devices, however, do not support Static IP Addresses or are portable in nature. These devices may be provided a Static IP Address via the DHCP Server. When a Reserved IP Address is specified, the modem will consistently provide the same dynamic IP Address to the specified MAC Address. The Reserved IP Address will not be assigned to any other LAN Devices. Prior to Assigning the Reserved IP Address, you must determine the MAC Address of the target LAN Device. You may copy the MAC Address from the ARP Table located within the Device Info Section of the GUI. Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the LAN Configuration Page 1.A Select the “LAN” tab located within the left-hand frameset.

VisionNet M605N Page 16 End User Manual Revision 3.1 2.B Enter the port rules External Port Start This is the port that will be used to access the device on the WAN Side External Port End This should be the same as “External Port Start” Protocol This should be “TCP/UDP” to avoid possible errors due to end-user mis-communication Internal Port Start This should be the port that the device “listens” on (see IP Camera example) External Port End This should be the same as “Internal Port Start” Remote IP This should left blank, unless only one remote device, with a static IP, will be allowed to access this port. 2.C Select “Save/Apply” 2.D Considerations For this rule to work properly, the LAN device must have either a Static IP, or a Reserved IP The LAN Device, and modem, may should be reset to ensure that this rule continues to work correctly
VisionNet M605N Page 17 End User Manual Revision 3.1 Section 5.2 CONFIGURING PORT TRIGGERING DEFINITION OF PORT TRIGGERING Port Triggering is a dynamic version of Port Forwarding, in which the modem will dynamically create a temporary port forwarding rule based upon outbound activity. This is best applied for LAN devices that communicate with a remote server. Basic VPN functions are already supported by default, but some applications use non-standard communication methods. An example would be port triggering configuration for the Nortel Contivity VPN Solution, which uses non-standard port VPN ports and requires Port Triggering to work. The following are the port triggering rules required for Nortel Contivity VPNs. Port Triggering for Nortel Contivity VPNs LAN Device Outbound Port Outbound Protocol Port Temporarily Forwarded to Initiating LAN Device Inbound Protocol 500 TCP/UDP 500 TCP/UDP 10001 TCP/UDP 10001 TCP/UDP In this scenario, a LAN Device (ie: The end-user’s laptop) will make an outbound UDP request on ports 500 and 10001. The modem responds to this by temporarily forwarding ports 500 and 10001 to the IP address of the initiating LAN Device (ie: The end-users laptop) for the life of the session. Port Triggering is ideal for portable devices (ie: laptops, PDAs, etc.) which require port forwarding, but for which a Static LAN IP would be antithetical to the device’s common usage.
VisionNet M605N Page 18 End User Manual Revision 3.1 Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the Port Triggering Configuration Page 1.A Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “Port Triggering” 1.B Select the “Add” Button. Please Note: If the port to be assigned is already specified in the existing Port Triggering Table, you must remove the rule containing this port prior to creating a new one.
VisionNet M605N Page 19 End User Manual Revision 3.1 Step 2: Configure the Port Forwarding Rule 2.A Select the appropriate WAN Interface If the Service you would like to have is already available in the “Select a Service” menu, you may select this service for auto-population. You may create a custom Service by selecting “Custom Application” and entering a new rule name 2.B Enter the port rules Trigger Port Start This is the port that the LAN device uses to initiate a session Trigger Port End This will usually match the “Trigger Port Start” parameter; some applications, however, may use a succession of ports. In this case you will enter the final port in that range. If these ports are not in succession, you must enter the next port as another row in the rule Protocol This should be “TCP/UDP” to avoid possible errors due to end-user mis-communication Open Port Start This is the WAN Port that the remote server will reply on Open Port End This will usually match the “Open Port Start” parameter; some applications, however, may use a succession of ports. In this case you will enter the final port in that range. If these ports are not in succession, you must enter the next port as another row in the rule Open Port Protocol This should be “TCP/UDP” to avoid possible errors due to end-user mis-communication
VisionNet M605N Page 20 End User Manual Revision 3.1 2.C Select “Save/Apply” 2.D Considerations It may be difficult to determine which ports must be used for a particular application. It is best to specify the LAN device as the DMZ host to see if this resolves the issue. If this does not resolve the issue, the port triggering rule should be removed and replaced with port forwarding. Once port forwarding has been verified to work then port triggering may be re-visited. If port triggering does not work, then further research should be done to identify the behavior of the communication between the LAN device and the Server.
VisionNet M605N Page 21 End User Manual Revision 3.1 Section 5.3 CONFIGURING THE DMZ HOST DEFINITION OF DMZ Host In the event that a remote application attempts to communicate via an inactive, or unspecified, port; the port will be dynamically forwarded to the IP Address specified as the DMZ Host. If a specific device is to be assigned as a DMZ host, this device should have either a Static IP or a Reserved IP. Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the DMZ Host Configuration Page 1.A Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset. Then, In the left-hand frameset, select “DMZ Host” 1.B Enter the desired DMZ Host IP Address This is the IP Address of the LAN Device which will receive all non-specified traffic.
