N150 WiFi Router (N150R)
the specified incoming port or ports, and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to
the triggering computer.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local
compu
ter. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and
can close the ports when they are no longer needed.
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging,
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) according to the instructions
in Universal Plug and Play on page 71.
To set up port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs and
the
number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can
usually get this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or
newsgroups.
To set up port triggering:
1. Select Adva
nced > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
2. Sele
ct the Port Triggering radio button to display the port triggering information.
3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box if it is selected.
Note: If the Disable Port Triggering check box
is selected after you configure
port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering
configuration information you added to the router is retained even though it is
not used.
4. In the Port T
riggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
