5 Advanced Applications
This section includes the following:
DDNS
Port Forwarding
DMZ Host
UPnP
Routing Table
To remotely access the device via a domain name or access a server on a LAN PC, see
DDNS .
To let an Internet user access a server on your LAN PC, see Port Forwarding.
To let an Internet user access your LAN PC without any restriction, see DMZ Host.
To automatically map the ports between WAN and LAN, see UPnP.
To view routes, see Routing Table.
5.1 DDNS
Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name
System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider
(ISP) to connect to Internet; the address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one
session on the Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to
remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS
provider allocates a static host name to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP address
this is communicated to the DDNS provider by software running on a computer or network device
at that address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and the address to
the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted access to
devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained. Click Advanced ->
DDNS to enter the DDNS screen.
Tip---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the Service Providers in the
drop-down menu first.
III Features & Configurations
59
2. This router supports five DDNS service providers: dyndns and no-ip.
DDNS Application Example:
If your ISP gave you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to access your router
remotely (6.5 Remote Web Management) but you cannot predict what your router's WAN IP
address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial
Dynamic DNS service. It lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic
directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
If you obtain the following account from your dyndns.org service provider:
User Name: tenda
Password: 123456
Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org.
You want to use the PC at 218.58.98.3 to remotely access this router on port number 8090.
Configuration Procedures:
① DDNS Service: Select Enable.
② Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop-down menu. Here in this
example, select dyndns.
③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in
this example, enter tenda.
④ Password: Enter the DDNS Password registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in
this example, enter 123456.
III Features & Configurations
60
⑤ Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name with your DDNS service provider. Here in this
example, enter tenda.dyndns.org.
⑥ Click Save to save your settings.
⑦ Click Security -> Remote Web Management, enable the Remote Web Management feature,
enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.58.98.3 in the IP Address field and then click Save to save your
settings.
When the Connection Status on this DDNS page displays Connected, you can access your
router from the Internet by typing your router’s domain name into your browser’s address or
location field on your PC (218.58.98.3) followed by a colon (:) and the remote management port
number. Here in this example, enter http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090.
5.2 Port Forwarding
You want to share resources on your PC with your friends who are not in your LAN. But, by default,
the router's firewall blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to
your outbound traffic. You can use the Port Forwarding feature to create exceptions to this rule so
that your friends can access these files from external networks.
When accessing your PC from Internet, type "protocol://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port number" into your
browser’s address or location field. The protocol and port are the ones used by the service and
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the WAN IP address of your router. For example, a FTP server uses the ftp
protocol and 21 (standard port number).
III Features & Configurations
61
Click Advanced -> Port Forwarding to enter the configuration screen.
Application Example:
As shown in the figure above, your PC at 192.168.0.10 connects to the router and runs a FTP
server on port number 21. Your friends want to access this FTP server on your PC from external
network.
Tip--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To successfully implement the port forwarding feature, note below:
1. Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP address. Private IP
addresses are not routed on the Internet.
2. Make sure you enter correct service port numbers.
3. To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, assign a static IP
address to your PC.
4. Operating System built-in firewall and some anti-virus programs may block other PCs from
accessing resources on your PC. So it is advisable to disable them before using this feature.
III Features & Configurations
62
Configuration Procedures:
① Start Port: Enter the starting port number for the service. Here in this example, enter 21.
End Port: Enter the ending port number for the service. Here in this example, enter 21.
② Internal IP: Enter the IP address of your local computer that will provide this service. Here in
this example, enter 192.168.2.10.
③ Protocol: Specify the protocol required for the service utilizing the port(s).
④ Check Enable to activate this rule.
⑤ Click Save to save your settings.
If your WAN IP address is 202.33.56.88, when accessing your FTP server from external network,
your friends only need to enter ftp://202.33.56.88:21 in their browsers.
III Features & Configurations
63
5.3 DMZ Host
The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one device for a
special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing applications that are not
compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation). Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the
DMZ Host screen.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configured as the DMZ host loses much of the
protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to attacks from external networks.
2. Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on your network.
Configuration Procedures:
① DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the router’s firewall will be
disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP Address of that device for this function to be consistent.
② Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host.
③ Click Save to save your settings.
III Features & Configurations
64
Tip---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Be sure to statically set the IP Address of the computer that serves as a DMZ host for this
function to be consistent.
2. Security softwares such as anti-virus software and OS built-in firewall, etc may affect the DMZ
host feature. Disable them if DMZ host fails.
5.4 UPNP
The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows network devices, such as computers from
Internet, to access resources on local host or devices as needed. UPnP-enabled devices can be
discovered automatically by the UPnP service application on the LAN. If you use applications such
as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant
messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you may need to enable Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP) for better experience.
Click Advanced -> UPnP to enter the UPnP screen. The UPnP feature is enabled by default.
