DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the
Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ" PC and other Internet
users or Servers.
This allows connection to special-purpose servers, which require proprietary client software, or
2-way user connections such as Video-conferencing, which requires both users to run special
software.
To allow unrestricted access, the Firewall in
this device is disabled, creating a security risk.
You should use this feature only if the "Special Applications" feature is insuffi-
cient to allow an application to function correctly. This feature should be turned
ON only when needed, and left OFF the rest of the time.
Configuring the DMZ
Select Advanced Internet from the navigation bar, then DMZ. You will see a screen like the
following:
