Special Applications
If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may
find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the TVP-224HR 's
firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application".
Special Applications Screen
This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications submenu located under the
Router Configuration main menu.
You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information about the
application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application. You can also
reference the Common Port Setting page.
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the
client (PC) viewpoint
