AirCard Smart Cradle
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the cradle to open more incoming ports when a
particular outgoing port starts a session.
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the cradle to open more incoming ports when a
particular outgoing port starts a session.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port but
also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can
tell the cradle, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” The following sequence
shows the effects of this port triggering rule:

tell the cradle, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” The following sequence
shows the effects of this port triggering rule:
1.
You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.
2.
Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then
sends this request message to your cradle.

sends this request message to your cradle.
3.
Your cradle creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your cradle stores the original
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port,
and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.

Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of 6667, your
cradle creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.

5.
The IRC server sends a return message to your cradle using the NAT-assigned source port
(for example, port 33333) as the destination port and sends an “identify” message to your
cradle with destination port 113.

cradle with destination port 113.
6.
When your cradle receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks its
session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active session,
the cradle restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply
message to your computer.

the cradle restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply
message to your computer.
7.
When your cradle receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks its
session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your computer. The
cradle replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and
forwards the message to your computer.

cradle replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and
forwards the message to your computer.
8.
When you finish your chat session, your cradle eventually senses a period of inactivity in the
communications. The cradle then removes the session information from its session table
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.
