ACCESSING THE GUI
Step 1: Accessing the GUI via a web browser
1.A
Open your Web Browser
Use the modem’s LAN IP Address
to access the GUI locally
This is most likely
http://192.168.1.254
1.B
If you are not sure what the IP
Address is, you may view the
gateway address assigned, via
DHCP, to the NIC Card of your PC or
Device.
Place the IPv4 Gateway address
into the address bar of your
browser.

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.
Then, In the left-hand frameset,
select “LAN IP Configuration”
1.B
Select “Add Entries”
VisionNet M605N Page 11 End User Manual Revision 3.1
You will be re-directed to the
“DHCP Static IP Lease” Page
Enter the MAC Address of the
intended LAN Host, and the IP
Address that you would like to
permanently allocate to that host.

ENABLING UPnP
UPnP Definition
Some applications, such as the XBOX, will require UPnP for operation. UPnP will dictate how devices share information on
the LAN, and the Dynamic port rules to be used for Internet Content.
Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the UPnP Page
1.A
Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset.
Then, In the left-hand frameset,
select “UPnP”
1.B
Select “Enable UPnP”
You may enable / disable UPnP by
toggling the checkbox.

Step 1: Direct Your Browser to the Port Forwarding Configuration Page
1.A
Select the “Security” tab located within the left-hand frameset.
Then, In the left-hand frameset,
select “Port Forwarding”
1.B
Select the “Add” Button.
Please Note: If the port to be assigned is already specified in the existing Port Forwarding Table, you
must remove the rule containing this port prior to creating a new one.

Step 2: Configure the Port Forwarding Rule
2.A
Choose the name of the rule
Choose the appropriate WAN

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.

Inbound
Protocol

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.

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.

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.
