Home Wireless-G Gateway
The Port Triggering Tab
Port Triggering is used for special applications that can request a port to be opened on demand. For this feature, the Gateway will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Gateway will remember the IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the Gateway, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
•Application. Enter the name you wish to give each application.
•Triggered Range. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the Triggered Range.
•Forwarded Range. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the Forwarded Range.
•Enable. Click the Enable checkbox to enable port triggering for the chosen application.
