DMZ Host

Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet

video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP

address is a "visible" address and does not benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore

it is advisable that other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the

LAN. It may be wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of the LAN.

For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can use the DMZ IP address

function. In this case, you must have a PC or server through which video conferencing will take place. The

IP address of this PC or server will then be the DMZ IP address. You can designate the server's IP address as

the DMZ by typing in the IP address in the DMZ IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by

ticking the Enable DMZ Host checkbox. Click the Save Settings button at the top of the window when you

are finished.

The Advanced Netwrok Settings menu is used to disable or enable UpnP, disable Ping responses on the

WAN port and change WAN port speed.
