5-4 Advanced Router Configuration
v1.0, July 2007
Port Forwarding is designed for FTP, Web Server or other server based services. Once port
forwarding is set up, request from Internet will be forwarded to the proper server. On the contrary,
port triggering will only allow request from Internet after a designated port is 'triggered'. Port
triggering applies to chat and Internet games.
• Port Triggering Timeout
Enter a value up to 9999 minutes. The Port Triggering Timeout value controls the inactivity
timer for the designated inbound port(s). The inbound port(s) will be closed when the
inactivity timer expires.
• For Internet Games or Applications
Before starting, you'll need to know which service, application or game you'll be configuring.
Also, you'll need to have the outbound port (triggering port) address for this game or
application.

Note: If Disable Port Triggering box is checked after configuring port triggering, port
triggering will be disabled but any port triggering configuration information you
added to the router will be retained even though it will not be used.
