4.6.2 Port Triggering
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video

Once configured, operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined
in the Trigger Port field.
2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated
with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using
one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.

will "Trigger" this rule.

Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP,UDP, or All (all
protocols supported by the router).
¾
Incoming Ports - The port or port range used by the remote system when it
responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be
forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports
(or port section). Every group of ports must be apart with ",". For example,
2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
