N450 Wireless Router WNR2500 When port triggering is enabled, the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified outbound trigger port. When the router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The router then temporarily opens the specified incoming port or ports, and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the triggering computer. Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close the ports when they are no longer needed. Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance, enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). See Universal Plug and Play on page 102. To set up port triggering, you must know which inbound ports the application needs. Also, you must know the number of the outbound port that triggers the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups. To set up port triggering: 1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering. The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen displays. 2. Select the Port Triggering radio button. Advanced Settings 94
