applications work with the DI-614+. If you need to run applications that require multiple

connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the

Trigger

field, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port into the

Incoming Ports

At the bottom of the screen, there are already defined special applications. To use them,

select one from the drop down list and select an ID number you want to use. Then click

the “Copy to” button and the router will fill in the appropriate information to the list. You
