Special Applications

Special Application
If you use Internet applications which have non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked
by the XC-DPG603 firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application" in order to make it work.
Note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the client (PC) viewpoint.

Using a Special Application on your PC
Once the Special Applications screen is configured correctly, you can use the application on your PC 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" period before another PC can use the same Special Application.
If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature, if possible.
