The Firewall Tab - Port Triggering

Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications whose outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports. For
this feature, the Router will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Router will remember the IP
address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns
through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
