8.8.2. Port Triggering

Certain applications, such as WAN network games, video conferences, and network calls, require
multiple connections. Because of the firewall setting, these applications cannot work on a simple NAT
router. However, certain special applications enable the applications to work on an NAT router.
When an application sends a connection request to a trigger port, the corresponding ports are open for
later connection and service provision.
Choose Network Application > Port Triggering and the Port Triggering page is displayed.
