7.15.2 Trigger Port Forwarding Example
The following is an example of trigger port forwarding. In this example, J is Jane’s computer and S
is the Real Audio server.
Figure 61 Trigger Port Forwarding Example
1 Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).
2 Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the BM2022w to record Jane’s computer IP address. The
BM2022w associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.
3 The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
4 The BM2022w forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address.
5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The
BM2022w times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP
(Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
Two points to remember about trigger ports:
1 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the BM2022w and going to the
outside.
2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another
computer on the LAN can’t trigger it.
7.16 DMZ
Use this page to set the IP address of your network DMZ (if you have one) for the WiMAX Device.
All incoming packets received by this BM2022w’s WAN interface will be forwarded to the DMZ host
you set.
