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:

ID

Trigger Port

Trigger Type

Public Port

Public Type

Comment

1

28800

UDP

2300-2400,47624

TCP

MSN Game Zone

2 6112

UDP

6112

UDP

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.

3.4.3 Port Forwarding

The Port Forwarding allows you to re-direct a particular range of service port numbers (from

the Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. It helps you to host some servers

behind the router NAT firewall.
