Dmz - LevelOne WBR-1101TX User Manual

DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ" PC and other
Internet users or Servers.
This allows connection to special-purpose servers which require proprietary client software, or
2-way user connections such as Video-conferencing, which requires both users to run special
software.
You should use this feature only if the "Special Applications" feature is insuffi-
cient to allow an application to function correctly. This feature should be turned
ON only when needed, and left OFF the rest of the time.
