The first step is to make sure you have the port information from the manufacturer or service that requires port forwarding. This normally includes the protocol, port start, port end, and port map.

The steps that follow provide instructions on how to set up port forwarding, but you must know the application's port settings to enter in the configuration screens.

Note: The configuration screens may vary slightly depending on when you purchased your modem or gateway and the version of firmware running on it.

To set up port forwarding on your Westell VersaLink 327W or 7500 gateway:

1. Open your Web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the Address field.

2. Enter your current user name in the New User Name field. If you haven't changed the user name, the default is "admin." [Show Me]



3. Enter your password in the Password field. You were required to change it during installation, so it can't be "password."



4. Click OK.
