individual application(s)” option. When in DMZplus mode, the designated computer:

•
Has all of the unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.
•
Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.
To configure a computer on the user’s network for DMZplus mode:

Select the computer to which the user wishes to have all data sent.
2.

UDP ports are forwarded to it.
