Security Configuration
DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer or computers on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".
Figure 41: Multi-DMZ
To use this feature:
• Enable this DMZ.
• The WAN IP address field displays the IP address allocated to you by your ISP.
• Enter the Corresponding IP to be the DMZ PC for traffic sent to this IP address.
If you have multiple Internet IP addresses, you can assign one DMZ PC for each Internet IP address.
If you only have 1 WAN IP address, only "DMZ 1" can be used, and only one (1) PC can be the DMZ PC. The current WAN IP
address is displayed. If this address is assigned upon connection, and no connection currently exists, then this address will be blank or
0.0.0.0.
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, mak-
ing it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
