Port Triggering
Some applications require that the remote parties open specific ports in
the Router’s firewall for access. Port Trigger dynamically opens the Open
Ports in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP
connection to a remote party using Trigger 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.
Applications such as games, video conferencing, and other remote
access applications require that specific ports in the Router’s firewall be
opened for access by applications.
