Using a Special Application


Configure the Special Applications screen as required.

On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use
each Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular
Special Application, there may need to be a "Time-out" before another PC can use
the same Special Application. The "Time-out" period may be up to 3 minutes.
DMZ

The "DMZ" PC will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. This feature is
normally used with applications which do not usually work when behind a Firewall.

The DMZ PC is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to
attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.

If Enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ" PC.
Select the desired option

Disabled - DMZ is disabled.

Enabled- The selected PC is a standard PC on your LAN, but it will receive any
"unknown" connections and data, as described above.
Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive
data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applica-
tions use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data).
Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by
the application server, for data you receive. If the application uses
a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish"
fields.
Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the
application server, for data you receive.
Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you send
data to the remote system or service.
Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by
the application server, for data you send to it. If the application
uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish"
fields.
Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the
application server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a
single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.
If an application still cannot function correctly,
try using the "DMZ" feature.
