Edimax Technology BR-6218Mg user manual Example Special Applications, Msn Tcp, Udp

Parameter	Description
Name	The description of this setting.
Incoming Type	Select the Inbound port protocol type: “TCP”, “UDP” or both
	Enter the In-coming (Inbound) port or port range for this type of application
	(e.g. 2300-2400, 47624)
Incoming Port Range	Note: Individual port numbers are separated by a comma (e.g. 47624, 5775,
	6541 etc.). To input a port range use a “dash” to separate the two port number
	range (e.g. 2300-2400)
Trigger Type	Select whether the outbound port protocol is “TCP”, “UDP” or both.
Trigger Start/Finish	This is the out-going (Outbound) range of port numbers for this particular
Range	application
Enable	Enable the specified Special Application function.

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:

Name	Incoming	Incoming	Trigger Type	Trigger	Trigger Finish Port	Enable
	Type	Port		Start Port
		Range
MSN	TCP	2300-2400,	UDP	28800	28800	MSN Game Zone
Game
		47624
Zone
Battle.net	UDP	6112	UDP	6112	6112	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 2300-2400 and 47624 to be directed to that user. Note: Only one LAN client can use a particular special application at a time.
