That is not an optimal solution because a static IP address must be configured for each device. With port triggering an application, local port or range of ports and a communication protocol can be mapped to a spe-cific public port. Sending packets out over the local port triggers the router to open an incoming local port that is mapped to the same public port and application as the outgoing local port(s).

APPENDIX D LINK LAYERS D-1Appendix DLink LayersThere are different ways of connecting your personal computer (PC) or mobile computing device to the Internet. Here are four of the most common ways and how to connect to the Internet using them.Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)A DHCP of connection is where your internet connection is usually always on and your internet service provider automatically provides you with an IP address. A DHCP connection is usually from a Cable internet service.Static IPTo set up a Static IP connection, enter the following: IP Address of the Internet Connection, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and both DNS Servers. This information can be obtained by either your Internet Service provider or Network Administrator. If your internet service provider requires a username and password to connect, you will then be prompted to enter the correct information.MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.
APPENDIX D POINT-TO-POINT PROTOCOL OVER ETHERNET (PPPOE) D-2Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE): To set up a PPPoE connection, enter the Username, Password, and Service (name) of the internet connection provided by your ISP. Click Next and the ESR300H should connect to the internet success-fully. A PPPoE connection is usually from a DSL internet service.1. Login: The username or e-mail address that the internet connection uses to access internet connectivity.2. Password: The password that corresponds to the username or e-mail address used to connect to the internet in the PPPoE.3. Service Name: The Service Name is optional. This is to signify the name of the Internet Service Provider.4. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500. 5. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)To set up a PPTP connection, enter the type of WAN connection (Static IP or DHCP). After, depending on the type of WAN, follow the instructions of DHCP or Static IP to fill out the corresponding information. Then, proceed to enter the Username, Password, Service, and Connection ID of the PPTP internet connection. Once completed, click Next. Once configured, the internet connection will successfully connect.
