5.2.2 Port Triggering
Some applications require that specific ports in the firewall be opened for access by the remote
parties. Port Triggers dynamically 'Open Ports' in the firewall when an application on the LAN
initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using the 'Triggering Ports'. The Router allows
the remote party from the WAN side to establish new connections back to the application on the
LAN side using the 'Open Ports'. A maximum 32 entries can be configured.
To add a Trigger Port, click Add. The following will be displayed.
