Special Applications
Advanced > Firewall > Special Applications
Application rules (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently
use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow
access for applications. See “
Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on page 36.
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports
UPnP first, before configuring this feature.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 10).
2. Click on Advanced and click on Firewall, then click on Special Applications.
3. Click the Port Triggering drop-down list, and select Enable. To save changes to this
section, click Add when finished. Commit your changes to the router by clicking on
Apply/Discard Changes in the left-hand menu, and click Apply & Reboot.
4. Review the application rule settings. Click Add to save settings.
Check the option to the left most of the entry to enable and uncheck to disable.
Rule Enable – Check the option to enable the port trigger rule.
Rule Name – Enter a name for the port trigger rule.
IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g.
192.168.10.101).
Match Protocol: Select the protocol for the firewall ports required for your
device. TCP, UDP, or Any (TCP and UDP).
Match Port: Enter the ports or port range to be forwarded to the device. (e.g.
2000-2038,2200-2210).
Trigger Protocol (Trigger): Select the trigger port protocol requested by the
device. TCP, UDP, or Any.
Trigger Port: Enter the port requested by the device. (e.g. 554-554 or 6112-6112).
Schedule (Optional) – The schedule function allows you to define a schedule
when the port trigger should be turned on. To define a new schedule, click New
Schedule and refer to page 39 “
Create Schedules”. After you have created a new
schedule, click the drop-down list and the new schedule will be available for
selection. Note: Before applying scheduling, please ensure your Time settings are
configured correct and you have defined a schedule. See page 38 to configure
Time Settings and see page 39 “ Create Schedules” to create a schedule.

under the Edit column next to
