WAN1 and WAN2 corresponds to the respective WAN interface governed by this rule. • Services - You can specify the desired Services or applications to be covered by this rule. If the desired service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the Services menu (see "Adding Customized Services" on page 4-25). • Schedule - You can specify whether the rule is to be applied on the Schedule 1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3 time schedule (see "Setting a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic" on page 4-28). See "Using Rules to Block or Allow Specific Kinds of Traffic" on page 4-2 for the procedure on how to use this feature. Port Triggering Port triggering allows some applications to function correctly that would otherwise be partially blocked by the firewall. Using this feature requires that you know the port numbers used by the Application. Once configured, Port Triggering operates as follows: • A PC makes an outgoing connection using a port number defined in the Port Triggering table. • This Router records this connection, opens the additional INCOMING port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the PC. 6-6 Router and Network Management v1.0, March 2009
