2.

In the Application Name field, enter a name for the application profile.

3.

In the Protocol field, click the

or

UDP

radio button. If both protocols are required, you must create a

definition for each.

4.

In the Port (or Range) field, enter the port or port range used by the application.

5.

In the Protocol Timeout (seconds) field, enter the amount of time (in seconds) that the connection in
the specified range should remain open when there is no data transfer. In most cases the default value
is appropriate.

6.

In the Map to Host Port field, enter the value that provides the mapping offset to the local computer. For
example, if this value is set to 4000 and the range being opened is 100 to 108, the forwarded data to
the first value in the range will be sent to 4000. Subsequent ports will be mapped accordingly; 101 will
be sent to 4001, 102 will be sent to 4002, etc.

7.

From the Application Type pull-down menu, select the application type: None (Default), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), Microsoft Games, H.323-based Internet telephony, IRC (Internet relay chat) server, or
PPTP virtual private network server.

8.

Click the

Add Definition

button.

9.

Repeat the previous step for each port or range of ports required for the application profile.
