Set Up Port Triggers
You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on your LAN. This
allows special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to
function properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some
messaging program features may require these special settings.
Note: If you enable the firewall and set up custom port triggers, then you must configure the
firewall to allow traffic through those custom ports. See Set Up Firewall Protection (page 43)
for more information.
To configure Port Triggers:
1. From any SBG7580-AC Web Manager screen, click the Firewall main menu button on the
SBG7580-AC Web Manager menu bar.
2. Click PORT TRIGGERS from the Firewall submenu options list to display the Port Triggers
Configuration screen.
