DMZ

The DMZ screen allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special
purpose service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards
all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Range Forwarding is more secure
because only the configured ports are opened. If DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one
computer, it exposes the computer to the Internet.

Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and
should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.

To use this feature, select Enabled. To disable DMZ hosting, select Disabled.

Source IP Address – If any IP address can be the source, select Any IP Address.

Want to specify an IP address or a range of IP addresses as the designated source,
click the second radio button and enter the IP address.

Destination – Want to specify the DMZ host by IP address, select IP Address and

enter the IP address. Or want to specify the DMZ host by MAC address, select MAC
Address and enter the MAC address. To retrieve this information, click the DHCP
Client Table button.

The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other devices that have been assigned IP
addresses by the IP1000. The Client table is sorted by Client Name, Interface, IP
Address, MAC Address and Expired Time (how much time is left for the current IP
address). To select a DHCP client, click the Select button. To retrieve the most up-to-
date information, click the Refresh button. To exit this screen and return to the DMZ
screen, click the Close button.

QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic,
which may involve demanding and real-time applications such as videoconferencing.
