Forward a Port on the BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN router
Find The Port Forwarding Section of the BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN
When you first log into the BEC-Technologies BEC-7800TN you are taken to the Status page of this router. The first step is to click the choice on the left side of the page labeled Advanced. A new list of links appears on the left side bar, pick the one labeled Configuration, Virtual Server, and finally Port Mapping.
Configure the Port Forwarding section of your BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN
Now to forward a port, make the following changes:
This places you on a page like the one you see above. In the first box labeled Application enter the name of the program. It is not especially important what you enter here, but we recommend entering something that helps you to remember why you are forwarding these ports.
Next is the Protocol drop down menu. Use this menu to choose the type of protocol you wish to use when forwarding these ports.
In the box labeled Internal IP Address enter the IP Address you are forwarding these ports to. For example if you are forwarding these ports to run a program on your computer, be sure to use this computer's IP Address here.
Next is the External Port and Internal Port. If you are forwarding a single port, you will need to enter that port number into both of the boxes under External Port and both boxes under Internal Port. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range in the left box of both the External Port and Internal Port. Enter the highest number in the range in the right box of both the External Port and Internal Port.
When you have finished, click the Add button, then click the choice on the bottom of the screen, in very tiny letters, labeled Save Config.
That's it, you did it!
Test if Your Ports are Open
Now that you have forwarded ports on the BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN you should test to see if your ports are forwarded correctly.
To test if your ports are forwarded you should use our Open Port Check tool.
