11. Enter the inbound connection port information in the Connection Type, Starting Port, and Ending
Port fields.
12. Click the Apply button.
The service is now in the Portmap Table.You must enable port triggering before the cable modem router
used port triggering for the service that you added. See Enable Port Triggering on page 78.
Enable Port Triggering
To enable port triggering:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
The Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page displays.
5. Select the Port Triggering radio button.
The page adjusts.
6. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box.
If this check box is selected, the cable modem router does not use port triggering even if you specified
port triggering settings.
7. In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the cable modem router detects no
activity. This value is required because the cable modem router cannot detect when the application
terminates.
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port numbers. Using port
triggering, you can tell the cable modem router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port
starts a session.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC).Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667.
The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an “identify” message to
your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the cable modem router, “When you initiate
a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating
computer.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you define:
