Port Triggering (Outbound Rules)
Port Triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the modem router detects traffic on the specified
outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and triggers the
incoming port. Port Triggering opens an incoming port temporarily and does not require the server
on the Internet to track your IP address if it is changed by DHCP, for example. Incoming traffic on
the triggered port is then forwarded to the triggering computer. Using the Port Triggering screen,
you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for
example, FTP or HTTP), to play Internet games, or to use Internet applications.
