DMZ
Enables a specified host PC on the local network to access the Internet
without any firewall protection. Some Internet applications, such as
interactive games or video conferencing, may not function properly behind
the Mini Broadband Router's firewall. By specifying a Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ) host, the PC's TCP ports are completely exposed to the Internet,
allowing open two-way communication. The host PC should be assigned a
static IP address (which is mapped to its MAC address) and this must be
configured as the DMZ IP address.
