Port forward alarm system

ffDesign
Hi!

I´m rather new to the UTM 9 firewall and now i´m about to set up a port forwarding for our alarm system and I would really appreciate some assistance.

I´ve read a couple of walkthroughs but they all refer to allow access from any user outside our WAN.

We have a alarmsystem with internal adress "192.168.1.***", it needs to communicate through port "191xx" to the alarmcentral which has the specific ip "194.14.58.***". 
The alarmsystem should not be reached by any user outside our WAN, only the alarmcentral with the specific ip above, should be allowed to communicate with the system.

Many thank´s in advance.

    Hi, ff, and welcome to the User BB!

    I would have thought that you only would need a firewall rule like '{alarm system} -> {port 191xx} -> {194.14.58.***} : Allow' for the alarm system to connect with the central, so you might try with just that first.

    If they do need to initiate a connection, make a NAT rule like 'DNAT : {194.14.58.***} -> {port 191xx} -> External (Address) : to {alarm system}' and select 'Automatic firewall rule'.

    Please let us know your results.

    Cheers - Bob
