DSL-502T ADSL Router User's Guide
DMZ
Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP address
for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to
agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client PC in the DMZ
will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take measures (such as
client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible
contamination through the DMZ.
DMZ IP address configuration
To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or device on your LAN, select
the Enabled radio button and click the Apply button. To remove DMZ status from the designated
IP address, select the Disabled radio button and click Apply. It will be necessary to save the
settings and reboot the Router before the DMZ is activated.
