Using a Special Application
•
Configure the Special Applications screen as required.
•
On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use
each Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular
Special Application, 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.
If an application still cannot function correctly,
try using the "DMZ" feature.
Multi-DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) or more computers on your LAN to be exposed
to all users on the Internet (if you only have 1 WAN IP addresses, only DMZ 1 can be
used), 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.
