Port Trigger - TRENDnet TEW-435BRM User Manual

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide

Port Trigger

If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may
find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the Wireless ADSL Rou-
ter's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Port Trigger".
The Port Trigger screen can be reached by clicking the Port Trigger on the screen.
You can then define your Port Trigger. You will need detailed information about the applica-
tion; this is normally available from the supplier of the application.
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the
client (PC) viewpoint
