CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Port Triggering:
Some applications, such as online games, videoconferencing and
VoIP telephony, require multiple ports for inbound and outbound traffic. If an
application requires both an incoming and an outgoing port simultaneously, it is
possible to configure static port forwarding to handle the packets. That is not an
optimal solution because a static IP address must be configured for each device.
With port triggering an application, local port or range of ports and a
communication protocol can be mapped to a specific public port. Sending packets
out over the local port triggers the router to open an incoming local port that is
mapped to the same public port and application as the outgoing local port(s). The
local application can communicate over the incoming and outgoing ports without
the need for creating a fixed address.
