Example: Special Applications

If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, 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	Trigger	Public	Public	Comment
	Port	Type	Port	Type
1	28800	UDP	2300-2400,	TCP	MSN Game
			47624		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 2300-2400 and 47624 to be directed to that user. Note: Only one LAN client can use a particular special application at a time.
