1. DMZ Host Configuration

You can set up your personal computer or network-ready device to be a public or local DMZ

hosts. In general, Internet applications use only one unique port and can pass through a NAT

Router by enabling Virtual Server. However, some special applications need to implement

SERIES can support the transparent pass-through of these special applications, such as FTP,

NetMeeting/H.323, MSN Messenger, etc. Enable Local DMZ Host when you have

problems running these applications. Besides, you can activate Public DMZ Host to set up

a server and retrieve the traffic initiated from the Internet.

DMZ Host. Then any service request of application initiated from the Internet will be

However, after you assign the LAN IP address 192.168.1.2 as the Local DMZ Host, your

NetMeeting will be forwarded to your LAN host with the LAN IP address 192.168.1.2, as
