User’s Manual

The Port Triggers page allows you to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on the LAN. This allows for special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to function properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some messenging program features may require these special settings.

Port Triggering is an elegant mechanism that does the forwarding for you, each time you play the game.

You can specify up to 10 port ranges on which to trigger.

The DMZ page allows you to configure a specific network device to be exposed or visible directly to the WAN (public Internet). Setting a host on your local network as demilitarized zone (DMZ) forwards any network traffic that is not redirected to another host via the port forwarding feature to the IP address of the host (PC). This designates one PC on your LAN that should be left accessible to all PCs from the WAN side for all ports. For example, if you locate a HTTP server on this machine, anyone will be able to access that

HTTP server by using your CBV704EW’s IP address as the destination. This may be used when problem applications do not work with port triggers. The setting of “0” indicates NO DMZ PC.
