Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video
conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have difficulties working
through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these
applications work with the DI-524. If you need to run applications that require multiple
connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port”
field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated
with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
The DI-524 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the
web page. Select the application you want to use and enable it.
