Port Triggering

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet calling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering is used for some of these applications that can work with an NAT router. You can set up Port Triggering on this page shown in Figure 3-30: 35
Figure 3-30 Port Triggering Once configured, operation is as follows: 1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the Trigger Port field. 2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host. 3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field. Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will "Trigger" this rule. Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols supported by the router). Incoming Ports Range - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030. Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or ALL (all protocols supported by the router). Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled. To add a new rule, enter the following data on the Port Triggering screen. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Click the Add New button. (pop-up Figure 3-31) Enter a port number used by the application when it generates an outgoing request. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the pull-down list, either TCP, UDP, or All. Enter the range of port numbers used by the remote system when it responds to the PC's request. Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports Range from the pull-down list, either TCP or UDP, or All. Select the Enable checkbox to enable. Click the Save button to save the new rule.

Figure 3-31 Add or Modify a Triggering Entry There are many popular applications in the Popular Application list. You can select it, and the application will fill in the Trigger Port, incoming Ports Range boxes and select the Enable checkbox. It has the same effect as adding a new rule. To modify or delete an existing entry: 1. 2. 3. Click the Modify in the entry you want to modify. If you want to delete the entry, click the Delete. Modify the information. Click the Save button.
Click the Enable All button to make all entries enabled Click the Disabled All button to make all entries disabled. Click the Delete All button to delete all entries Note: When the trigger connection is released, the according opening ports will be closed. Each rule allowed to be used only by one host on LAN synchronously. The trigger connection of other hosts on LAN will be refused. Incoming Port Range cannot overlap each other.
The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ host forwards all the ports at the same time. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP Address assigned to it because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function. You can set up DMZ host on this page shown in figure 5-29:
Figure 3-32 DMZ To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server: 1. 2. Click the Enable radio button Enter the local host IP Address in the DMZ Host IP Address field Note: After you set the DMZ host, the firewall related to the host will not work.
The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows the devices, such as Internet computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. UPnP devices can be automatically discovered by the UPnP service application on the LAN. You can configure UPnP on this page that shown in Figure 3-33:
Figure 3-33 UPnP Settings Current UPnP Status - UPnP can be enabled or disabled by clicking the Enable or Disable button. As allowing this may present a risk to security, this feature is disabled by default. Current UPnP Settings List - This table displays the current UPnP information.

Figure 3-39 Add or Modify a Domain Filtering entry To add or modify a Domain Filtering entry, follow these instructions: 1. Effective Time - Enter a range of time in HHMM format specifying the time for the entry to take effect. For example, if you enter: 0803 - 1705, than the entry will take effect from 08:03 to 17:05.

Glossary
Access Point - A device that allows wireless-equipped computers and other devices to communicate with a wired network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless network. Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless computers operate on a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode, and is useful at a departmental scale or SOHO operation. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - A security method that uses symmetric 128-bit block data encryption. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) - ATM is a cell based transfer mode that requires variable length user information to be segmented and reassembled to/from short, fixed length cells. It uses two different methods for carrying connectionless network interconnect traffic, routed and bridged Protocol Data Units (PDUs), over an ATM network. Bridging - A device that connects different networks. Browser - An application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the World Wide Web. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - Allows the hosting of a website, FTP server, or e-mail server with a fixed domain name (e.g., www.xyz.com) and a dynamic IP address. Default Gateway - A device that forwards Internet traffic from your local area network. DHCP - A networking protocol that allows administrators to assign temporary IP addresses to network computers by leasing an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time, instead of assigning permanent IP addresses. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - Removes the Router's firewall protection from one PC, allowing it to be seen from the Internet. DNS (Domain Name Server) - The IP address of your ISP's server, which translates the names of websites into IP addresses. Note: Now, all the configurations are finished, it will take effect after reboot.
