10/100 8-Port VPN Router

Setup Tab - DMZ Host

The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. See Figure 6-12.
Enter the DMZ Private IP Address to access the DMZ Host settings. The Default value zero (0) will deactivate the
DMZ Host.
Click the Save Settings button to save the DMZ Host setting or click the Cancel Changes button to undo the
changes.

Setup Tab - Forwarding

Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make
certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the
requests. If, for example, you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all
HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. See Figure 6-13.
You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. Be sure that you enter a
valid IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in order to properly run an Internet server.) For
added security, Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be
connected. The packets will simply be forwarded through the Router.
Port Range Forwarding
1. Select the Service from the pull-down menu. See Figure 6-14.
2. If the Service you need is not listed in the menu, please click the Service Management button to add the
new Service Name, and enter the Protocol and Port Range. Click the Add to List button. Then, click the Save
Setting button. Click the Exit button.
3. Enter the IP Address of the server that you want the Internet users to access. Then enable the entry.
4. Click the Add to List button, and configure as many entries as you would like. You also can Delete selected
application.
