Port Forwarding Billion 7404vnpx

There are many modems and each have there own way to port forward.

In this example I will be using a billion 7404vnpx

Devices connected to the network : Avtech 16channel Dvr, Slingplayer, Logitech Sphere webcam, Foscam Ip camera, Tivo, Media Centre pc and many more.

Some software that I have port forwarded : Steam to me, Rdp, and Ness alarm ElkRP2, Mcontrol.

By default the Ip address for the Vnpx is 192.168.1.254

Using you browser type http://192.168.1.254/

Once logged in you should see

Click on Advanced, Configuration, Ethernet.

This is where you can change the modems Ip address, the default is 192.168.1.254. I have changed this modem to 192.168.2.254.

Once you do change this, Internet explorer may ask you to log back in. Don't forget to press apply.

Next click on Advanced, then Firewall, Packet Filter.

Enter the rule name example Avtech, in the destination Ip key in your ip address mine is 192.168.2.0 and destination netmask of 255.255.255.0

In Type enter Tcp or Udp depending on what the device calls for. In below example Avtech uses TCP.

In the Destination port key in the port number you want to use, in this example I have used port 3003 - 3003.

 See other examples below.

This allow you to connect say from an external pc or phone and get through the firewall.

Now we need to direct the traffic to the device or pc.

Click on Configuration, Virtual Server, Port Forwarding

Enter The application name: say Avtech,  Protocol choose TCP, external port 3003-3003 and redirect port 3003-3003

This will now let you connect directly to the device. You have now configured port forwarding.
