4.10.2 Port Triggering
Go to Forwarding → Port Triggering , you can view and add port triggering in the next screen.
Some applications require multiple connections, like internet games, video conferencing, internet telephoning and so on. Port Triggering is used for some of these applications that cannot work with a pure NAT Router.
Once the router is configured, the operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the
Trigger Port field.
2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.
Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will
"Trigger" this rule.
Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP , UDP , or All (all protocols supported by the router).
Incoming Port - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or
ALL (all protocols supported by the router).
Status - The status of this entry is either Enabled or Disabled .
To add a new rule, follow the steps below.
1. Click the Add New… button, the next screen will pop-up.

Applications do not have the application you need, enter the Trigger Port and the Incoming
Ports manually.
3. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the Trigger Protocol drop-down list, either
TCP , UDP , or All .
4. Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports from the Incoming Protocol drop-down list, either TCP or UDP , or All .

Note:
1) When the trigger connection is released, the according opening ports will be closed.
2) Each rule can only be used by one host on the LAN at a time. The trigger connection of other hosts on the LAN will be refused.
3) Incoming Port Ranges cannot overlap each other.

4.10.3 DMZ
Go to Forwarding → DMZ , you can view and configure DMZ host in the screen. The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the internet for a special-purpose service such as internet gaming or video conferencing. The router forwards packets of all services to the DMZ host. Any PC that is set to be DMZ host 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.
