4.4.5.3 Port Forwarding – DMZ
DMZ: A DMZ ( Demilitarized Zone ) is added between a protected network and an external network, in order
to provide an additional layer of security.
Setting a computer on your local network as DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) forwards any network traffic that is not
redirected to another computer via the port forwarding feature to the computer's IP address. This opens the
access to the DMZ computer from the Internet. This function is disabled by default.
The following screen will pop-up after clicking the DMZ button. Place a check to enable the DMZ functionality.
Select the WAN Connection, LAN Group and LAN IP Address from the drop down manual. Click Apply to
save and activate your setting.
