Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video
conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have difficulties working
through NAT (Network Address Translation).
Special Applications
makes some of these
applications work with the DI-704P. If you need to run applications that require multiple
connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the
Trigger
field, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port into the
Incoming
Ports
field.
At the bottom of the screen, there are already defined special applications. To use
them, select one from the drop down list and select an ID number you want to use.
Then click the “Copy to” button and the router will fill in the appropriate information to
the list. You will then need to enable the service. If the mechanism of Special Applica-
tions fails to make an application work, try using DMZ host instead.
Note!
Only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.
