Operation and Status

This Chapter details the operation of the TW100-BRF114 and the status screens.

Operation

Once both the TW100-BRF114 and the PCs are configured, operation is automatic.

However, there are some situations where additional Internet configuration may be required:

If using Internet-based Communication Applications, it may be necessary to specify which PC receives an incoming connection. Refer to Chapter 6 - Internet Features for fur- ther details.

Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers may be blocked by the TW100-BRF114 's built-in firewall. You can define such applications as Special Applica- tions to allow them to function normally. Refer to Chapter 6 - Internet Features for further details.

Some non-standard applications may require use of the DMZ feature. Refer to Chapter 6 - Internet Features for further details.
