Port Triggering

Port Triggering is a specialized form of Port Forwarding. It dynamically opens and closes ports to
allow Internet traffic access to your LAN. In contrast, Port Forwarding opens a port and it rema
open until you disable it. With Port Triggering, when the device detects outgoing traffic on
previously defined ports, specific ports (also previously defined) are opened. This method
for special applications such as interactive gaming, video conferencing programs, and file transfer
in chat programs.
T he specific port forwarding rules you need to implement will be detailed in the appli
documentation.
Refer to your software application documentation for more information on specific port settings.
