3.5.6 DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for special-purpose
applications like Internet gaming or videoconferencing. When enabled, this feature opens all ports
to a single station and hence renders that system exposed to intrusion from outside. The port
forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports required by that application..

Enable DMZ: Enable one PC to be exposed to the Internet.

DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the computer’s IP address in this field.

(Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a
fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly.)

Apply Changes: Click on “Apply Changes” to save the setting.

Reset: Click on “Reset” to undo your changes.
