8.8.8.8) in the Display Wet Connection field.
2. To make the changes operational click on the SAVE & APPLY button on

DYNAMIC DNS CONFIGURATION
The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows you to associate the public and
dynamic IP address of the router, which changes with time, to a URL (Host Name)
chosen by the user, which instead remains unchanged with time.
In this way it is possible to easily reach the 4GRouter from the Internet and, after
configuring the Port Forwarding rules, every device connected to it.
To use the DDNS service you must first sign it with one of the ISP (Internet Service
Provider) providers on the market.
It is possible to view the Host Name of the 4GRouter, the process status and to
configure a new DDNS service via the Services menu.
1. Select the Dynamic DNS item in the Services menu
2. In the Overview panel, under the Lookup Hostname column, you can
view the host name that allows to reach the 4GRouter.
3. In the Process ID column you can view the ID assigned to the current
process or alternatively start the process by clicking on the START
button.
CHANGE OR CREATE A NEW DDNS
1. To change the configuration of an existing DDNS click on the EDIT button.
1. To create a new configuration enter the name and click on the ADD
button.
2. In the window that appears, select the desired ISP from the DDNS Service
provider drop-down menu.
3. Fill in the Domain, Username and Password fields with host name,
username and password provided by the ISP.
4. To make the changes operational click on the SAVE & APPLY button on
the bottom right of the page.

PORT FORWARDING CONFIGURATION
The 4GRouter allows to reach from the Internet any device connected to it (for
example an IP camera).
To use this feature it is necessary to configure Port Forwarding rules.
Each device connected to the 4GRouter is part of its local network, is identified by
a private IP address and can have a certain number of internal communication
ports. Through Port Forwarding it is possible to associate a specific external port
to each internal port. In this way, the incoming traffic from the Internet,
addressed to the public IP of the router (or the host name of the DDNS) on a
specific external port, is forwarded by the router to the device with the associated
internal port.
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE
Public IP address of the router: 2.192.118.1
Host name: gwesseti-qawera.dyndns-ip.com
Private IP address of the camera connected to the router: 10.130.1.226
Internal port of the camera: 80
Port forwarding: associates internal port 80 to external port 88.
The camera can be reached from the Internet via the following URL:
gwesseti-qawera.dyndns-ip.com:88
1. Select the Firewall item in the Network menu.
2. Click on the Port Forwards entry at the top of the page.
3. Enter the name you want to give to the new rule in the Name field.
4. Select the communication protocol in the Protocol menu.
5. Select wan in the External zone menu.
6. Enter the external port number in the External port field.
7. Select lan in the Internal zone menu.
8. Select in the Internal IP address menu an IP address among those present
or select --custom-- and manually enter the IP address of the desired
device.
9. Enter the internal port number of the device in the Internal port field.
10. To make the changes operational click on the ADD button.
