Ping Communication 7962v1 Router Port Forwarding Instructions

Your 7962v1 router helps to protect your network by blocking incoming internet connections. This is an important feature that helps you to control which applications have access to your network. Sometimes you want to allow network access to a specific application in order to play a game, connect a device, or use an app. The Ping Communication 7962v1 can unblock certain incoming connections through port forwarding or by opening a port.

1. In the Comment box, type in a name for this forward. This will serve as a reminder to you in the future as to why this forward was set up, so give it a name that makes sense to you.
2. Go ahead and enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the Local IP box. It is possible for this to be either the IP address of your computer or of any other device on your network that you want ports forwarded to.
3. To forward a single port, enter the port number into the Local Port from and the Local Port to boxes. To forward a range of ports, enter the lowest number in the range into the Local Port from box. Then enter the highest number in the range into the Local Port to box.
4. Use the Protocol dropdown box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If your router has the option of Both, then choose that. Otherwise, choose either TCP or UDP as needed. If you need to forward a port for both TCP and UDP and your router does not have Both, then you have to create two entries.
5. Leave Remote IP blank.
6. Take the values that you entered in the Local Port box and put the exact same numbers in the Remote Port box.
7. Choose Any from the Interface drop-down box.
8. Click the Add button at the bottom of the page to apply these changes when you are completely finished.
