Chapter 4 Configure the Router of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players and more. Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules: 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router. 2. Go to Forwarding > Port Triggering. 3. Click Add New. Select the desired application from the Common Applications list. The trigger port amd incoming ports will be automatically filled in. The following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example. 4. Leave the status as Enabled and click Save. Note: • You can add multiple port triggering rules as needed. • The triggering ports can not be overlapped. • If the application you need is not listed in the Common Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You should verify the incoming ports the application uses first and enter them in Incoming Ports field. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030. 4. 8. 3. DMZ When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host. Note: DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.
