Communication Applications

Most applications are supported transparently by VRT-401. But sometimes it is not
clear which PC should receive an incoming connection. This problem could arise with
the Communication Applications listed on this screen.
If this problem arises, you can use this screen to set which PC should receive an
incoming connection, as described below.

Special Applications

If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers,
you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by VRT-
401' s firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application".
Special Applications Screen
This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications button on the Ad-
vanced Internet screen.
You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information
about the application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application.
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from
the client (PC) viewpoint
This lists applications which may generate incoming con-
nections, where the destination PC (on your local LAN) is
unknown.
This lists the PCs on your LAN.
If necessary, you can add PCs manually, using the "PC
Database" option on the advanced menu.
