Set Up Port Triggers

You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on the LAN. This allows
special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to function properly.
Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some messaging program features may
require these special settings.
Note: If you enable the firewall and set up custom port triggers, then you must configure the firewall to allow
traffic through those custom ports. See
