Triggering

The Port Range Triggering screen allows the Router to

watch outgoing data for specific port numbers . The IP

address of the computer that sends the matching data is

remembered by the Router, so that when the requested

data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back

to the proper computer by way of IP address and port

mapping rules .

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be

exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose

service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing .

DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to

one PC . The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure

because it only opens the ports you want to have opened,

while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,

exposing the computer to the Internet .

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

DMZ

Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have

its DHCP client function disabled and have a new static IP

address assigned to it because its IP address may change

when using the DHCP function .

Enabled/Disabled

To disable DMZ hosting, select

Disabled . To expose one PC, select Enabled . Then

configure the following settings:

Source IP Address

If you want any IP address to be the

source, select Any IP Address . If you want to specify an IP

address or range of IP addresses as the designated source,

select and complete the IP address range fields .

Destination

If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP

address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in the

field provided . If you want to specify the DMZ host by MAC

address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC address

in the field provided .
