Popular applications | This section lists the more popular applications that require |
| multiple connections. Select an application from the Popular |
| Applications selection. Once you have selected an application, |
| select a location |
| click the Copy to button. This will automatically list the Public |

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)
Example: Special Applications
If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, then specify the port (outbound) normally associated with that application in the "Trigger Port" field. Then select the protocol type (TCP or UDP) and enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them up for inbound traffic.
Example:
ID | Trigger Port | Trigger Type | Public Port | Public Type | Comment |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 | 28800 | UDP | TCP | MSN Game Zone | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 | 6112 | UDP | 6112 | UDP | Battle.net |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the example above, when a user trigger’s port 28800 (outbound) for MSN Game Zone then the router will allow incoming packets for ports
