4.3.2 Port Trigger
Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a
limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network
makes an outgoing connection to a specified port. Port triggering
is used in the following scenarios:
•
More than one local client needs port forwarding for the
same application at a different time.
•
An application requires specific incoming ports that are
different from the outgoing ports.
