Triggering

The 

Port  Range  Triggering

  screen  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 .

Applications and Gaming > Port Range Triggering

Port Range Triggering

Application  Name 

Enter  the  application  name  of  the 

trigger .

Triggered Range 

For each application, enter the starting 

and ending port numbers of the triggered port number 
range . Check with the Internet application documentation 
for the port number(s) needed .

Forwarded  Range 

For  each  application,  enter  the 

starting  and  ending  port  numbers  of  the  forwarded 
port number range . Check with the Internet application 
documentation for the port number(s) needed .

Cancel

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

The  DMZ  feature  allows  one  network  computer  to  be 
exposed  to  the  Internet  for  use  of  a  special-purpose 
service  such  as  Internet  gaming  or  videoconferencing . 
DMZ  hosting  forwards  all  the  ports  at  the  same  time  to 
one PC . The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure 
because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, 
while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, 
exposing the computer to the Internet . 

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

DMZ

Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have 
its DHCP client function disabled and have a new static IP 
address assigned to it because its IP address may change 
when using the DHCP function .

Enabled/Disabled 

To  disable  DMZ  hosting,  select 

Disabled

 .  To  expose  one  PC,  select 

Enabled

 .  Then 

configure the following settings:

Source IP Address 

If you want any IP address to be the 

source, select 

Any IP Address

 . If you want to specify an IP 

address or range of IP addresses as the designated source, 
select and complete the IP address range fields .

Destination 

If  you  want  to  specify  the  DMZ  host  by  IP 

address,  select 

IP  Address

  and  enter  the  IP  address  in 

the  field  provided .  If  you  want  to  specify  the  DMZ  host 
by MAC address, select 

MAC Address

 and enter the MAC 

address in the field provided . To retrieve this information, 
click
