Communication Applications
Most applications are supported transparently by the TW100-BRV204. But sometimes it is not
clear which PC should receive an incoming connection. This problem could arise with the
Communication Applications
listed on this screen.
If this problem arises, you can use this screen to set which PC should receive an incoming
connection, as described below.
Select an Application
This lists applications which may generate incoming connections,
where the destination PC (on your local LAN) is unknown.
Send incoming calls to
This lists the PCs on your LAN.
•
If necessary, you can add PCs manually, using the "PC
Database" option on the advanced menu.
•
For each application listed above, you can choose a destina-
tion PC.
•
There is no need to "Save" after each change; you can set the
destination PC for each application, then click "Save".
Special Applications
If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may
find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the TW100-BRV204 's
firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application".
Special Applications Screen
This screen can be reached by clicking the
Special Applications
button on the
Advanced
Internet
screen.
You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information about the
application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application.
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the
client (PC) viewpoint

Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Ap-
plication, there may need to be a "Time-out" before another PC can use the same Special
Application. The "Time-out" period may be up to 3 minutes.

DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ PC" and other
Internet users or Servers.
•
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".
•
The DMZ feature can be Enabled and Disabled on the
Advanced Internet
screen.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the
Virtual Server
feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
The Service works as follows:
1.
You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free). Your
password will be E-mailed to you.
2.
After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your
desired Domain name.
3.
Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the TW100-BRV204 's DDNS screen.
4.
The TW100-BRV204 will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is
5.
From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)
using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
Dynamic DNS Screen
Select
Internet
on the main menu, then
Dynamic DNS
, to see a screen like the following:

•
You must sign up first to create a new account before using the

•
Click this link to connect to the www.dyndns.org Web site.
•
Your initial password will be E-mailed to you; you can change
this later if you wish.
•
After registration, use the "Create New Host" link (on the
www.dyndns.org Web site) to request a domain name.
