Port Triggering Setup
Some applications require that specific ports in the router's firewall be opened for
access by the remote parties. The Port Triggering feature dynamically opens up the
"Open Ports" in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP
connection to a remote party using the Triggering Ports feature. The router allows
the remote party from the WAN side to establish new connections with the
application on the LAN side using the open ports. A maximum of 32 entries can be
configured.
The NAT -- Port Triggering screen allows you to configure servers to which you
want to forward IP packets that belong to a specific service.
