Port Triggers Tab
This screen allows you configure TCP/UDP port triggers. Port Triggering is a
method that allows multiple computers on your network to access a server, such
as a game server. A trigger request is made to the Router, which opens an
incoming port for that computer.
To use Port Triggering and allow a computer to access a server:
1. Enter the Trigger Range and Target Range of the external port(s) used by the
server or Internet application in the Start Port and End Port columns. Check
with the Internet application software documentation for more information.
2. Select the protocol for each port you want to forward, TCP, UDP, or Both.
3. Click the Enable button to enable the changes.
To delete a server entry, enter 0 in the Trigger Range and Target Range fields.
Click the Apply button to apply any changes.
