sonic wall

hi,
we have a sonic wall tz200 that im guessing is a basic router since it is not registered anymore and was reset. we have our t1 access in the wan port and have internet access to pc via the lan port. (see file attached) we are about to plug a dvr box into one of the free ports and would like to access it from the outside world via port 7000.

what do we need to do to the sonic wall so that can happen.

what gateway & static ip settings should we assign to the dvr (see attached for what populated by itself) ?

thanks so much

Go to Network->Services, and add a service with port 7000, assuming no predefined 7000 port service is there. Remember what you named it.

Go to Firewall->Access Rules and add a rule from WAN to LAN destination port 7000 (whatever you named that service above) Action is Allow. Be sure that is above any general deny or discards)

Depending, you might have to make a NAT rule as well.

I so appreciate your help but I still cant get through.

the port the dvr connected to says unassigned so I tried to assign it.

helpppppp :-(

ps I have since unassigned the port. perhaps the dvr settings are not correct as well?

see attached file for details :-0
