DMZ

To access the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) window, click the

DMZ

button in the

Advanced

directory.

Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router

supports use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP

address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to agents

on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any

client PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks. If

you use the DMZ, take measures (such as client-based virus protection)

to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible

contamination through the DMZ.

To designate a DMZ IP address, select

Enabled DMZ

, type in the IP

Address of the server or device on your LAN, and click the

Apply

button.

To remove DMZ status from the designated IP address, deselect the

Enable DMZ

and click

Apply

. It will be necessary to save the settings

and reboot the Router before the DMZ is activated.
