10-2 WAN Setup
Choose
Security Options > WAN Setup
and the WAN Setup page appears.
In this page, you can set a default DMZ server and allow the router to respond to the ping
command from the Internet. Do not use the two functions unless it is necessary because
they lead to security risks. DMZ allows all ports of a PC in your LAN to be exposed to the
WAN. Enter the IP address of a PC to set the PC to a DMZ host, which is not restricted by
the firewall any more. In this way, the DMZ host can have mutually unrestricted
communcation with a user or server on the WAN.
The following table describes parameters in this page:

Protection
This function protects your LAN against DoS attack. Do not disable this
firewall function unless a special situation occurs.
Respond to
Ping on
Internet Port
If you want the router to respond to ping commands from the Internet,
select the check box. The ping command can be used for diagnosis. Like
a DMZ server, this function also leads to security risks. Hence, do not
select the check box unless it is necessary.
