Advanced > Port Triggering
The Port Triggering page lets you manage external access to specific ports on your home network
using automatic triggering.
When port triggering is enabled, the Gateway monitors outbound traffic. If the Gateway detects traffic
on the specified outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data, triggers
the incoming port, and then forwards the incoming traffic to the triggering computer.
To use port triggering, you specify which service type and port number you want to track, along with
other related parameters. This allows the Gateway to pass the special applications to the appropriate
ports you specified.
