Special Apps
On the Special Apps page, you can authorize certain ports to communicate
with PCs outside your network. It may be necessary for multi-session
applications, such as online games and voice conferencing.
There are two ways of set up new special applications on your router:
▪
Popular Application Copy: Allows you to select one of
frequently used applications from the Popular Applications
drop-down list and copy it to your Special Application Table.
Available options are AIM, Diablo II (1), Diablo II (2), StarCraft,
StarCraft III, ICUII, FTP, CUseeMe, MSN Messenger and Real
Player.
▪ Manual Configuration: If the application you want to configure
is not in the Popular Applications list, you can configure its
settings manually.
Before configuring a new special application, would you please check the list
of those popular applications first? If it is already in the list, we recommend
that you use the Popular Application Copy unless you know exactly which
settings to choose.
Notes
▪ Configuring special applications may cause filters to be
automatically created on the Filters page.
▪ The Company AP Router provides two factory default
special applications for FTP and NetMeeting, if you
overwrite them or any other existing application, they will
not work.
