Port Forwarding
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For
example, you might make a local Web server, FTP server visible and available to the Internet. This function will allow you to route
external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to
your internal network. You will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. To enter settings,
select the Protocol from the dropdown box, you will see a list of common applications (TCP,UCP). Select the desired applications,
enter the IP address and the port number in the space provided for the internal (server) machine and click “Add” & “Apply”.

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature is helpful when you using some on line WEB, FTP, Telnet, E-Mail conferencing application. The modem is
programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might
not function well. Incoming traffic from the internet is usually discarded by the modem unless the traffic is a response to one of
your local computers. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.
