Once configured, port triggering operation is as follows:

1.A PC makes an outgoing connection using a port number defined in the Port Triggering table.

2.The gateway records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering List, and associates them with the PC.

3.The remote system receives the PCs request, and responds using a different port number.
