Special Apps - Acer WLAN 11g Broadband Router User Manual

5.5 Special Apps

On the Special Apps page, you can authorize certain ports to
communicate with PCs outside your network. It may be necessary
for multi-session applications, such as online games and voice
conferencing.
There are two ways of set up new special applications on your
router:
Popular Application Copy: Allows you to select one of frequently
▪
used applications from the Popular Applications drop-down list
and copy it to your Special Application Table. Available options
are AIM, Diablo II (1), Diablo II (2), StarCraft, StarCraft III,
ICUII, FTP, CUseeMe, MSN Messenger and Real Player.
Manual Configuration: If the application you want to configure
▪
is not in the Popular Applications list, you can configure its
settings manually.
Before configuring a new special application, would you please
check the list of those popular applications first? If it is already in
the list, we recommend that you use the Popular Application Copy
unless you know exactly which settings to choose.
Notes
Configuring special applications may cause filters to be automatically
created on the Filters page.
The Company AP Router provides two factory default special
applications for FTP and NetMeeting, if you overwrite them or any
other existing application, they will not work.
