Note:

• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if

you are not clear about which port and protocol to use.

• If the service you want to use is not in the Common Service Port list, you can enter

the corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that

the service needs.

• You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in

a router. Please note that the Service Port should not be overlapped.

Users in the Internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:

http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.

If you have changed the default Service Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: Service

Port to visit the website.

4. 7. 2. Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.

When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the

external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the IP

address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the

router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied

to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN Gaming

Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.

Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Forwarding > Port Triggering.

3. Click Add New. Select the desired application from the Common Applications list.

The trigger port amd incoming ports will be automatically filled with contents. The

following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.

Done!
