Range Forwarding
The Port Range Forwarding screen sets up public services
on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail
servers, or other specialized Internet applications.
(Specialized Internet applications are any applications
that use Internet access to perform functions such as
videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet
applications may not require any forwarding.)
Applications & Gaming > Port Range Forwarding
When users send this type of request to your network via
the Internet, the Gateway will forward those requests to
the appropriate computer. Any computer whose port is
being forwarded should 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.
To add an application, complete the following fields.
Application
Enter the name you wish to give each
application.
Start and End
Enter the starting and ending numbers of
the port you wish to forward.
Protocol
Select the type of protocol you wish to use for
each application: TCP, UDP, or Both.
IP Address
Enter the IP address.
After you have entered all the information into the fields,
click Enable to enable port range forwarding for that
application.

The Applications & Gaming Tab > Port
Triggering
Port Triggering is used for special applications that can
request a port to be opened on demand. For this feature,
the Gateway will watch outgoing data for specific port
numbers. The Gateway will remember the IP address of
the computer that sends a transmission requesting data,
so that when the requested data returns through the
Gateway, the data is pulled back to the proper computer
by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
To add an application, complete the following fields:
Application
Enter the name of the application.
Triggered Range
Enter the starting and ending port
numbers of the triggered port range. Check with the
Internet application documentation for the port number(s)
needed.
Forwarded Range
Enter the starting and ending port
numbers of the forwarded port range. Check with the
Internet application documentation for the port number(s)
needed.
After you have entered all the information into the
fields, click Enable to enable port triggering for that
application.
