Section 3 - Configuration

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have

difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these applications work with the L7-N-R2000.

If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port"

field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

The L7-N-R2000 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application you want to use and

enable it.
