Port Forwarding ABC on the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?


Before we can forward ports for ABC, we need to figure out what ports ABC is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up ABC.



Click File in the menu at the top of the program. Then click Preferences in the list that drops down.



In the menu on the left hand side of your screen, click the Network link. On this page you should see a Port box. You can change the port number that ABC is using if you like. The number that is in that Port box is the port that you will have to forward.

Please enter the number that was in that box below.

ABC's Port for incoming connections

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:

10.0.1.




Open up the finder on your Mac.

Click the Applications button near the left of the page.

Click the Utilities button near the right of the page.




Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right of the page.




Select Apple Base Station from the Select Base Station list.


Click the Port Mapping button near the top of the page.




Click the Add button near the right of the page.




We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. ABC requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Mapping Add menu and then click Ok.

Public Port:
Private Address: 10.0.1.
Private Port:

When you're finished, click Update near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!



To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
