Some applications require that specific ports in the Router's firewall should be opened for access by remote devices. Port Trigger dynamically opens up the 'Open Ports' in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote device using the triggering ports. The Router allows the remote party from the WAN side to establish new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the open ports. A maximum 32 entries can be configured.
