Application rules (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently
use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow
access for applications. See “Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on page 37.
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports
UPnP first, before configuring this feature.

3. Click the Port Triggering drop-down list, and select Enable. To save changes to this
section, click Add when finished. Commit your changes to the router by clicking on

Trigger Port: Enter the port requested by the device. (e.g. 554-554 or 6112-6112).
Schedule (Optional) – The schedule function allows you to define a schedule
when the port trigger should be turned on. To define a new schedule, click New
