Port Triggering Section of the Router Tab
Some applications require multiple ports open for communication, many of which may be initiated
by a computer on the WAN. Examples of this include video conferencing, VoIP (Internet
telephony), and Internet gaming.
With port triggering, the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot monitors outgoing data on specific port
numbers (trigger ports).
The Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot keeps track of the IP address of the computer that sends
data on these trigger ports, so that when incoming data on the Forward ports arrives, the
Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot sends the incoming data to the same computer.
Before you can use or configure port triggering, you must enable it. See "Enabling Port Triggering"
on page 111.
