Ubee Interactive Using the Port Triggers OptionUbee DDW365 Advanced Wireless Gateway Subscriber User Guide • February 2014 49port can be used only by one program at a time.NoteYou can set up applications/services to listen on one internal port. External Internetusers who want to access that application, address it using an external port, such asan Audio server. Internal Ports are the ports to which local servers listen. ExternalPorts are the ports that the DDW365 listens to from the WAN.The following screen shot shows Forwarding set up for an Xbox.6.6 Using the Port Triggers OptionPort Triggers define dynamic triggers to specific devices on the LAN. This allows specialapplications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to functionproperly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some messagingprogram features may require these special settings.Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range ofports on the server side. The difference between port forwarding and triggering is: Port forwarding sets a rule to send a service to a single LAN IP address. Port triggering defines two kinds of ports: trigger port and target port. The triggerport sends a service request from a LAN host to a specific destination port number.The port the LAN host is required to listen to by the application is called the targetport. The server returns responses to these ports.For example:1. John requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070). Port 7070 is a “trigger”port and causes the device to record John’s computer IP address. The DDW365associates John's computer IP address with the “target” port range of 6970-7170.2. The Real Audio server responds to a port number ranging between 6970-7170.3. The DDW365 forwards the traffic to John’s computer IP address.
