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.
If an application still cannot function correctly,
try using the "DMZ" feature.
Multi-DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer or computers on your LAN to be exposed
to all users on the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
•
If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".
If you have multiple Internet IP addresses, you can assign one DMZ PC for each Internet IP
address.
If you only have 1 WAN IP addresses, only "DMZ 1" can be used, and only one (1) PC can be
the DMZ PC.
