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 par-
ticular 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 min-
utes.
If an application still cannot function correctly,
try using the "DMZ" feature.
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.
