D-Link DWM-312 User Manual
Section 4 - Configuration
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) directly exposes a single client device to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a
computer, you can enable a DMZ.
Enabling Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) helps to prevent cyber
attacks by validating that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note:
Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer
to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is recommended for
advanced users only.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want
to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer
obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a
static reservation on the
Setup > Network
Settings page so that
the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.
