Parameter Description
Name The description of this setting.
Incoming Type Select the Inbound port protocol type: “TCP”, “UDP” or both
Incoming Port Range
Enter the In-coming (Inbound) port or port range for this type of application
(e.g. 2300-2400, 47624)
Note: Individual port numbers are separated by a comma (e.g. 47624, 5775,
6541 etc.). To input a port range use a “dash” to separate the two port number
range (e.g. 2300-2400)
Trigger Type Select whether the outbound port protocol is “TCP”, “UDP” or both.
Trigger Start/Finish

This is the out-going (Outbound) range of port numbers for this particular
application
Enable Enable the specified Special Application function.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other
advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)
Example: Special Applications
If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, then specify the port (outbound) normally
associated with that application in the "Trigger Port" field. Then select the protocol type (TCP or UDP) and
enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them up for inbound traffic.
Example:

2300-2400,
47624
UDP 28800 28800 MSN Game Zone
Battle.net UDP 6112 UDP 6112 6112 Battle.net
In the example above, when a user trigger’s port 28800 (outbound) for MSN Game Zone then the router will
allow incoming packets for ports 2300-2400 and 47624 to be directed to that user. Note: Only one LAN
client can use a particular special application at a time.
