Port Triggering
Some applications such as games, video conferencing, remote access applications and others require that specific ports in
the Router's firewall be opened for access by the applications. Port Trigger dynamically opens up the 'Open Ports' in the
firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using the 'Triggering Ports'.
The Router allows the remote party from the WAN side to establish new connections back to the application on the LAN
side using the 'Open Ports'.
To enter the Port Triggering screen, click NAT > Port Triggering and then click the Add button to add rules.
You can configure the port settings from this screen by selecting an existing application or creating your own (Custom
application) and click Save/Apply to add it.
Use Interface: Select a WAN connection to which you wish to apply the rules. When there is only one WAN connection
available, the rules will be automatically applied to it.
Application Name: Two options are available:
Select an application: Select one from the drop-down list directly.
- Custom application: Custom application by yourself.
Trigger Port Start/Trigger Port End: The port range for an application to initiate connections.
Trigger Protocol: Select the protocol from the drop-down list. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP.
Open Port Start/ Open Port End: These are the starting number and ending number for the ports that will be
85
