Adding a Custom Service

To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, you must
first determine which port number or range of numbers is used by the application. You can usually
determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or
newsgroups. When you have the port number information, follow these steps:

1. Select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering under Advanced in the main menu.

2. Select the Port Forwarding radio button as the Service type.

3. Click Add Custom Service.

4. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name.

5. In the Protocol field, select the protocol. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP.

6. In the Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number.

If the application uses only a single port, enter the same port number in the Ending Port
field.
