Port Triggering

Choose menu "Forwarding→Port Triggering", you can view and add port triggering in the next
screen (shown in Figure 4-32 ). Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet
games, video conferencing, Internet telephoning and so on. Port Triggering is used for some of
these applications that cannot work with a pure NAT Router.
To add a new rule, follow the steps below.
1. Click the Add New... button, the next screen will pop-up as shown in Figure 4-33.
2. Select a common application from the Common Applications drop-down list, then the
Trigger Port field and the Incoming Ports field will be automatically filled. If the Common
Applications do not have the application you need, enter the Trigger Port and the
Incoming Ports manually.
3. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the Trigger Protocol drop-down list, either
TCP, UDP, or All.
4. Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports from the Incoming Protocol drop-down list,
either TCP or UDP, or All.
5. Select Enable in Status field.
6. Click the Save button to save the new rule.
