Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The mesh device can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports,
the mesh device can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly
applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN
Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
