USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed
outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing problems with
an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on
a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.

To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP field
and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. If you are
using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which WAN IP
address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you wish the
DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host
computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.
