Protocol Protocol used by your server
Internal Port Start/End Starting and Ending port number that the router will forward to (In most
cases, they are the same as External port numbers)
PORT TRIGGERING
Some applications require that specific ports in the Router's firewall be opened for access by the remote parties. Port
Trigger dynamically opens up the 'Open Ports' in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP
connection to a remote party using the 'Triggering Ports'. The Router allows the remote party from the WAN side to
establish new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the 'Open Ports'. A maximum 32 entries can be
configured.
1. Click the Add Rule button to enter your port triggering configuration window.
2. Select an application from the drop down list for pre-configured applicationr or select Custom Application to
define your own rules.
3. Enter your trigger/open port number(s), and trigger/open protocol.
