Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX200

The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Triggering

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.

Port Triggering

Application. In this field, enter the name you wish to give the application.

Triggered Range and Forwarded Range

Start Port and End Port. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the Triggered Range and Forwarded Range.

Enable. Click the Enable checkbox to enable port triggering for the relevant application.

When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network user 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 PC. The Port Range Forward 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.

Any PC 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

To expose one PC, select Enable. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
