Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Applications & Gaming Tab - Port Range Triggering
The Port Range Triggering screen allows the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP
address of the computer that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the requested
data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port
mapping rules.
