Port Triggering

Choose menu "Advanced→Forwarding→Port Triggering", you can view and add port triggering
in the next screen shown in Figure 5-53. 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 5-54.
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.
