Section 3 Configuration Port Forwards: (continued) Port Triggers: (ADVANCED) (2) LAN IP Address: Sets the client on your local network (specified by IP address) to which communications will be forwarded. This information must be entered for each port forward. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) (3) LAN Port Range: These two fields ("Start" and "End") define a range of LAN ports to which communications will be forwarded. To forward to a single port, enter the same port number in both fields. This information is optional for each port forward. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) Sets rules for forwarding inbound communications (from your broadband connection) based on specific outbound communications (or "triggers") from a LAN client. Specifically, if a LAN client transmits to the Internet using any of a set of outbound destination ports, they will be forwarded Internet responses that are received on a corresponding set of inbound destination ports. You may optionally specify a destination port range for forwards, on the LAN side of the WA840, as well. This feature can be particularly useful to support real-time games which require Internet responses to game activity. These responses might otherwise be blocked by the WA840 firewall. NOTE: These settings are only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router. You can store up to 20 port triggers, and selectively enable one or more of them when desired, using the Enabled checkbox at the end of each row. If more port triggers are required, especially for a single client, you should consider configuring the client as a DMZ. NOTE: Port triggers will be applied in the order in which they are listed on this page. For each port trigger, the following 5 items can be entered: (1) Outbound Protocol This field specifies the Internet communication protocol that will be monitored on specified outbound ports.
