Networking - Port Trigger

When you run a PC application that accesses the Internet, it typically
initiates communications with a computer on the Internet. In some
applications, especially gaming, the computer on the Internet also
initiates communications with your PC. Because NAT does not
normally allow these incoming connections to occur, the BR700
supports port triggering.

The BR700 is configured with port triggering for some common
applications. You can also configure additional port triggers if
needed. Configuring port triggers for an application requires a Port
Trigger entry, explained below.
