Dynalink RTA1320 Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding is required when applications require ports to be open to operate correctly.
You will need to know the port/s that you are trying to open, and also the IP Address of the device (computer, VoIP ATA, etc.) that you are Port Forwarding to.

Setting a Static IP Address

If you are Port Forwarding to a device other than a computer, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the device to find out what it's IP Address is. You will also need to ensure this IP Address is a Static IP Address.

If you are Port Forwarding to a computer, you will need to set a Static IP Address on your computer. An example of a Static IP Address you can choose is as follows:

• IP Address: 192.168.1.20
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
• Preferred (Primary) DNS: 192.168.1.1
• Alternate (Secondary) DNS: 4.2.2.2

For instructions on setting a Static IP Address on your computer, please see the following Article:
