Trigger Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port.
Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound
data from the Internet.
Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
• When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an
outgoing connection using the trigger port range 0-000.
The IRC server responds by verifying the username and
creating a new connection to the client PC using an incoming
port.
• If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection
because it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for
IRC access. When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an
incoming port to receive the inbound data. This incoming port
closes once a specific time period has elapsed because the
router is unsure when the application has been terminated.
• Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use
a particular service and a specific incoming port at the same
time.
• You cannot use the same application to trigger a port in more
than one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the
port back to the last computer to send the router a request/
trigger.
