Advanced_Special Applications
An application rule is used to open single or multiple ports on your router when the router senses data
sent to the Internet on a "trigger" port or port range. An application rule applies to all computers on
your internal network.
Parameters for an Application Rule
Example:
You need to configure your router to allow a software application running on any computer
on your network to connect to a web-based server or another user on the Internet.
Name
Enter a name for the Special Application Rule, for example Game App, which will help
you identify the rule in the future. Alternatively, you can select from the Application list of
common applications.
Application
Instead of entering a name for the Special Application rule, you can select from this list of
common applications, and the remaining configuration values will be filled in accordingly.
Trigger Port Range
Enter the outgoing port range used by your application (for example 6500-6700).
