Planet Technology XRT-401E 3.4.3 Port Forwarding, Note, Comment, Example:, Public Port, Public Type, Trigger Port, Trigger Type, Example: Special Applications

Example: Special Applications

If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, then 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 Port	Trigger Type	Public Port	Public Type	Comment
1	28800	UDP	2300-2400, 47624	TCP	MSN Game 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.

3.4.3 Port Forwarding

The Port Forwarding allows you to re-direct a particular range of service port numbers (from the Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. It helps you to host some servers behind the router NAT firewall.
