Special Applications

Access > Special AP

Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming

applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several

ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will

wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a

device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will

forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on

your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently

use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow

access for applications. See “Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on

page 33

.

Note:

Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports

UPnP first, before configuring this feature.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on

page 27

).

2. Click on

Access

, and click on

Special AP

.

To simplify configuration, there is a list of commonly used pre-defined special

application entries to modify, otherwise, you can choose to manually add a new special

application.

3. Review the special application settings.

•

Enabled

– Selecting

Enabled

turns on the special application and selecting

Disabled

turns it off.

•

Name

– Enter a name for the special application.

•

Trigger

– Port or port range requested by the device.

o

Protocol

– Select the protocol requested by the device.

TCP, UDP

, or you

can select

Both

to choose both TCP and

UDP.

o

Port Range

– Enter the ports or port range requested by the device.

(e.g.

554-554 or 6112-6112).

Note:

Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and protocols

are required.

•

Incoming

– Port(s) forwarded to the device.

o

Protocol

– Select the protocol to be forwarded to the device.

TCP,

UDP

, or you can select

Both

to choose both TCP and

UDP.

o

Port Range

– Enter the ports or port range to be forwarded to the

device.

(e.g.

2000-2038,2069,2081,2200-2210).

Note:

Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and

protocols are required.

Add static routes to your router

Routing > Static

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to

other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be

determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for

the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another

network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these

two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate

between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an

example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network

to access the other network.

Note:

Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking

knowledge.

Enable dynamic routing on your router

Routing > Dynamic

You may want to setup your router to route computers or devices on your network to

other local networks through other routers. If other routers support dynamic routing

such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), you can enable this feature on your router

to automatically learn the required routes to reach those networks. It is required that

the same dynamic routing protocol and version is also enabled on the other routers in

order your router and the other routers to exchange information about the network.

Note:

Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking

knowledge.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on

page 27

).

2. Click on

Routing

, and click on

Dynamic

.

3. Select the appropriate dynamic routing protocol and version communicate with other

routers.

•

Transmit

– Allows your router to send out network information to other

routers so other routers can dynamically build routes to your network.

o

Disabled

– Disable sending routing information from your router to

other routers.

o

RIP 1

- Sends out routing information to other routers

using the RIP

version 1 protocol.

o

RIP 2

– Sends out routing information to other routers using the RIP

version 2 protocol (recommended if supported by both devices).

•

Receive

- Allows your router to receive network information from other router

so your router can build routes to other networks.

o

Disabled

– Disable receiving routing information from other routers to

your router.

o

RIP 1

- Receive routing information from other routers using the RIP

version 1 protocol.

o

RIP 2

– Receive routing information from other routers using the RIP

version 2 protocol.
