Applications & Gaming > Port Range Triggering

The Port Range Triggering screen allows the Gateway to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is remembered by the Gateway, 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.

Applications and Gaming > Port Range Triggering

Port Range Triggering

To trigger a port range, enter the information on each line for the criteria required.

Application Name  Enter the application name of the trigger.

Triggered Range Start Port and End Port  For each application, enter the starting and ending port numbers of the triggered port number range. Check with the Internet application documentation for the port number(s) needed.

Forwarded Range Start Port and End Port  For each application, enter the starting and ending port numbers of the forwarded port number range. Check with the Internet application documentation for the port number(s) needed.

Enable  Select Enable to enable port triggering for the applications you have defined.

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more

secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

DMZ

Any computer whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

DMZ Hosting  To disable DMZ hosting, keep the default, Disable. To expose one computer, select Enable. Then configure the following setting:

DMZ Host IP Address  Enter the IP address of the computer.

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
