55Chapter 2 . Congure Touch P5 as a Router
Note:
1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which
port and protocol to use.
2. If the service you want to use is not in the list of Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters
manually. You should verify the ports number that the service needs.
3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in your Touch P5. Please note
that the External Port cannot be overlapped.
Users in the Internet can enter Service Type://WAN IP to visit your local resources. (in this case, enter
http://218.18.232.154 to visit your personal website).
Note:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended to
apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS. Then you can use Service Type://Domain Name
to visit your local resources.
2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use Service Type://WAN IP:External Port or Ser-vice
Type://Domain Name:External Port to visit your local resources.
2. 23. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host in the local network initiates a
connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. Your Touch P5 can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, your Touch P5 can forward them to the
corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include
MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for your Touch P5.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add.
3. Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired Application. The External Port, Internal Port and Protocol will be
automatically filled with contents. The following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.
4. Click OK.
Done!
