APPLICATION RULES
Some applications require that specific ports in the Router's firewall be opened for access by the remote parties. Application rules dynamically open
up the Firewall ports when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using the Trigger ports. The router allows
the remote party from the WAN side to establish new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the Firewall ports. A maximum of
16 entries can be configured.
To access the APPLICATION RULES setting window, click on the Application Rules button in the ADVANCED directory.
APPLICATION RULES CONFIGURATION
Select a name from the drop-down menu for pre-configured

own rules.
Enter your Trigger and Firewall port(s), and select the Traffic
Type.
Click on the Add/Apply button to apply settings.
