use forwarding to resolve the following issues:
Data is sent from a local host to the Internet, but the return path of expected data is
not received by your local host.
An application or service running on your local network (on local host) cannot be
accessed from the Internet directly (for example, a request to a local audio server).
Examples are:
Xbox/PlayStation Games/applications
Home Security Systems Security systems that use the Internet
Audio Servers/VoIP Audio and VoIP applications and services
Topics
See the following topics:

Before Setting Up Forwarding on page 40

Before Setting Up Forwarding


Try the following options before you assign forwarding rules:
Enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This may resolve the issue you have without
setting up forwarding rules. Refer to Using the Options Option on page 35 for
instructions to enable UPnP. Then test your local host or application such as your Xbox to
see if it is functioning properly. Continue with port forwarding if the host or application is not
communicating correctly.

Assign a Static IP lease to the client/host to which you are setting up forwarding. This
way, the IP does not change and disrupt your forwarding rules. For example, if you are
hosting a Web server in your internal network and you wish to setup a forwarding rule
for it, you should assign a static IP lease to that system to keep the IP from renewing
and disrupting the forwarding rule.

Setting Up Port Forwarding


If the suggestions in Before Setting Up Forwarding on page 40 did not correct your
communication problem, use port forwarding.
You need the following information to set up forwarding:
IP address of each local host system (for example, Xbox) for which you need to setup
a port forwarding rule.
Port numbers the local hosts application listens to for incoming requests/data (for
example, a game or other service). These port numbers should be available in the
documentation associated with the application.
Note
For detailed information on port forwarding, including how to set it up for specific
applications using specific network devices (for example, cable modems), refer to:
http://portforward.com or consult your host device or application user manual.
Steps
To set up forwarding:
1. Click Advanced from the main menu.
2. Click Forwarding from the left menu.
3. Enter information in the forwarding fields and click Add Row.
4. Click Save. The forwarding rule is created and displayed in the table. Field
descriptions are listed below the screen example.

Setting Up Forwarding for an Xbox Example


Following is an example of how you would set up a single Xbox running Modern
Warfare 2. Since multiple ports are used for the Xbox and the Modern Warfare 2 game, a
separate forwarding rule is set for each port. Multiple ports and forwarding rules may not
be required for other applications.
Steps
To set up port forwarding for an Xbox:
1. Click Advanced from the main menu.
2. Click Forwarding from the left side menu.
3. Enter the Xbox IP address in the Target IP Address field.
4. Define ports used by the Xbox in the Public Port Range field. Define the same ports
used by the Xbox in the Target Port Range field.
5. Create Port Forwarding rules per port. A rule set up for port 53 works for port 53. A
port can be used only by one program at a time.

42

Ubee EVW3226 Advanced Wireless Voice Gateway Subscriber User Guide March 2013

Ubee Interactive

Note
You can set up applications/services to listen on one internal port. External Internet
users who want to access that application, address it using an external port, such as
an Audio server. Internal Ports are the ports to which local servers listen. External
Ports are the ports that the gateway listens to from the WAN.

6.6

Using the Port Triggers Option


Port Triggers define dynamic triggers to specific devices on the LAN. This allows special
applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to function
properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some messaging
program features may require these special settings.
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of
ports on the server side. The difference between port forwarding and triggering is:
Port forwarding sets a rule to send a service to a single LAN IP address.
Port triggering defines two kinds of ports: trigger port and target port. The trigger
port sends a service request from a LAN host to a specific destination port number.
The port the LAN host is required to listen to by the application is called the target
port. The server returns responses to these ports.
For example:
1. John requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070). Port 7070 is a trigger
port and causes the device to record Johns computer IP address. The EVW3226
associates John's computer IP address with the target port range of 6970-7170.
2. The Real Audio server responds to a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
3. The EVW3226 forwards the traffic to Johns computer IP address.
4. Only John can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or
expires.

1. Connect a PC to an Ethernet port on the EVW3226. Make sure both devices are
powered on and functioning.
2. Connect a client device, such as a PC, that you wish to be in the DMZ to an Ethernet
port on the EVW3226 or via WLAN.
3. After logging in to the Web user interface, click Advanced from the main menu.

Understanding Received Signal Strength
Received signal strength (RSSI) is measured from connected wireless client devices to
the wireless gateway and vice versa. This value can significantly impact wireless
speeds/performance. It is determined by:
Materials (for example, open air, concrete, trees)
Distance between wireless clients and the wireless gateway
Wireless capabilities of the client devices
Estimating Wireless Gateway to Wireless Client Distances
The information in this section helps you to determine how far a wireless gateway can be
placed from wireless client devices. Environmental variances include the capabilities of
wireless clients and the types of material through which the wireless signal must pass.
When the wireless gateway and wireless clients reach the distance threshold between
each other, network performance degrades.

Selecting a Wireless Channel


You may need to change the wireless channel on which the wireless gateway operates
when you are in computing, test, and other environments where several wireless access
points may be operating in the 2.4Ghz range.
In some cases, you may want to segment your wireless traffic where a group of devices
operates on one channel and another group operates on another channel, and so on. This
is done by configuring the channel on each wireless access point individually (if you have
multiples). If you have control over only one wireless device in an environment where
there may be several, you can change the wireless channel on your gateway to one that
is not heavily used.
Note
To change the wireless broadcast channel, refer to Using the Wireless Radio Option on
page 55.

The following diagram displays the 2.4 GHz channels available in Europe. Each available
channel is 22Mhz wide. Since channels overlap, it is best to choose channels that have
the least overlap (typically 1, 5, 9, and 13 in Europe). Overlapping channels can cause
wireless network performance issues.
