			Setting up port forwarding on a OvisLink OV804WVA

			1. Sign into your modem by logging in to the IP https://192.168.1.1 and enter your modem's login (usually admin for username and your DSL password for the password).

			== Assigned Static IPs to Devices on your Local Area Network ==
			To open up ports for a particular service you're using, we first have to specify which devices on your local network should be accessible over those ports.

			2. Click on the '''Device Info''' Menu Link and go to → the submenu '''DHCP'''

			Copy the '''MAC Address''' for the device(s) you want to open up ports for and paste it in a text editor.


			3. Click on '''Advanced Setup''' → then '''LAN''' Submenu →

			Locate the DHCP Server Range from as indicated in the diagram below (usually 192.168.1.2 to 254) and click on '''Add Entries''' under the '''Static IP Lease List''' table

			4. On the '''DHCP Static IP Lease''' page, Paste the MAC address for the devices you choose is Step 2 and assign a Static IP from the range note in Step 3

			== Creating Port Forwarding Rule ==
			5. Click on '''NAT''' under the '''Advanced Setup''' menu and select '''Add''' under the '''Virtual Servers Setup''' page

			6. Select '''Custom Service'''. Set a descriptive service name (one that reminds you of what service is using the ports and what device on your local network it's being open for).

			Enter the Static IP address assigned in Step 4.

			Enter the Port Needs in the '''External Port Start and End''' fields on the table and specify the Protocol type.

			A single port must be repeated in the '''Start''' and '''End''' columns as shown below.

			Hit '''Apply/Save''' to commit your changes.

			== Power cycle ==
			It is recommended that you power your modem off, waiting about 5 seconds and power it back on after making these changes.

			'''Notes:'''

			*The modem should retain these port forward settings when powered off or when rebooted.
			*Rules can be manually edited later to amend them.
			*A "factory reset" of the modem to default settings (by putting a pin in the hole on the back of the modem for 20 seconds) will eliminate all port forwards set up.
