N150 Wireless Router WGR614v11 User Manual
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging,
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) according to the instructions
in
Using Universal Plug and Play
on page
68.
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the
inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the
application or user groups or newsgroups.
To set up port triggering:
1.
Select
Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
under Advanced in the main menu. The
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen displays (see
Figure
1
on page
63).
2.
Select the
Port Triggering
radio button. The port triggering information displays.
Figure 4.
3.
Clear the
Disable Port Triggering
check box.
Note:
If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you
configure port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any
port triggering configuration information you added to the router is
retained even though it is not used.
4.
In the
Port Triggering Timeout
field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes. This value controls
the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound ports close when the
inactivity time expires. This is required because the router cannot be sure when the
application has terminated.
