5.5 Special Apps

On the Special Apps page, you can authorize certain ports to communicate with PCs outside your network. It may be necessary for multi-session applications, such as online games and voice conferencing.

There are two ways of set up new special applications on your router:

Popular Application Copy: Allows you to select one of frequently used applications from the Popular Applications drop-down list and copy it to your Special Application Table. Available options are AIM, Diablo II (1), Diablo II (2), StarCraft, StarCraft III, ICUII, FTP, CUseeMe, MSN Messenger and Real Player.

Manual Configuration: If the application you want to configure is not in the Popular Applications list, you can configure its settings manually.

Before configuring a new special application, would you please check the list of those popular applications first? If it is already in the list, we recommend that you use the Popular Application Copy unless you know exactly which settings to choose.

Notes

Configuring special applications may cause filters to be automatically created on the Filters page.

The Company AP Router provides two factory default special applications for FTP and NetMeeting, if you overwrite them or any other existing application, they will not work.
