Port Triggering
Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications whose
outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports. For this feature, the Router will
watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Router will remember the
IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, 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. Click the
Port Triggering
button to set up triggered ports, and follow these instructions:
1. Enter the Application Name of the trigger (see Figure 6-27).
2. Enter the Outgoing
Port Range used by
the application.
Check with the
Internet application
for the port num-
ber(s) needed.
3. Enter the Incoming
Port Range used by
the application.
Check with the
Internet application
for the port num-
ber(s) needed.
