Port Triggering
Port triggering allows the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the
computer that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the requested data returns
through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
Some Internet applications or games use alternate ports to communicate between the server and LAN host.
When you want to use these applications, enter the triggering (outgoing) port and alternate incoming port in the
Port Triggering table. Then the Router will forward the incoming packets to the LAN host.

Application Name

Trigger Port Range
