Opening the firewall for a selected PC (Exposed Host)
You can set up a client in your local network to be a so-called "exposed host". Your
device will then forward all incoming requests from the Internet to this client, with the
exception of requests to the port numbers already defined via port forwarding. You can
then, for example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local net-
work and make it accessible to Internet users.
As the exposed host, the local client is directly visible to the Internet and therefore par-
ticularly vulnerable to attacks (e.g. hacker attacks). Only activate this function if it is
absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and other functions (e.g. port for-
warding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropriate measures for the
clients concerned.
Open the
Advanced Settings
tab and on the
Internet
menu select
Exposed Host
.
Define the list of PCs you want to set up as exposed hosts.
Activate a PC which you want to function as the current exposed host. Only one PC
at a time can be selected.

The IP addresses of the PCs you want to set up as exposed hosts must
remain unchanged. If the IP addresses of the PCs are assigned via the
DHCP server of the SE680 WiMAX, you must select the option

static IP addresses to the PCs, see "Configuring the DHCP server" on
