Once the modem router is configured, the operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection to an external host using a destination port
number defined in the Trigger Port field.
2. The modem 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.
