• 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:

8. 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!
