DGFV338 ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Reference Manual was made. When the application ceases to transmit data over the port, the router waits for a timeout interval and then closes the port or range of ports, making them available to other computers on the private network. Once configured, the operation is as follows: • A PC makes an outgoing connection using a port number defined in the Outgoing Port Triggering table. • The ProSafe DGFV338 records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Incoming Port Triggering table, and associates them with the PC. • The remote system receives the PCs request and responds using the different port numbers that you have now opened. • This Router matches the response to the previous request, and forwards the response to the PC. • Without Port Triggering, this response would be treated as a new connection request rather than a response. As such, it would be handled in accordance with the Port Forwarding rules. • Only one PC can use a Port Triggering application at any time. • After a PC has finished using a Port Triggering application, there is a Time-out period before the application can be used by another PC. This is required because this Router cannot be sure when the application has terminated. Note: For additional ways of allowing inbound traffic, see "Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding)" on page 4-7. To add a new port triggering rule: 1. Select Security from the main menu and Port Triggering from the submenu. The Port Triggering screen will display. 2. Enter the following data in the Add Port Triggering Rule fields: a. Name - Enter a suitable name for this rule (for example, the name of the application) b. Enable/Disable - Select the desired option from the pull-down menu. c. Outgoing (Trigger) Port Range - Enter the range of port numbers used by the application on the private network when it generates an outgoing request. d. Incoming (Response) Port Range - Enter the range of port numbers used by the remote system when it responds to the PC's request. Security and Firewall Protection v1.0, April 2007 4-29
