Application Rules

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony.

These applications have difculties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Application Rules makes

some of these applications work with the DIR-685. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections,

specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” eld. Select the protocol type as TCP or

UDP. Then enter the rewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound trafc.

The DIR-685 provides some predened applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application

you want to use and enable it.
