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 particular Special Ap- plication, 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 minutes.

If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature.

Multi-DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer or computers on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet.

•This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".

•The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.

•If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".

If you have multiple Internet IP addresses, you can assign one DMZ PC for each Internet IP address.

If you only have 1 WAN IP address, only "DMZ 1" can be used, and only one (1) PC can be the DMZ PC. The current WAN IP address is displayed. If this address is assigned upon connection, and no connection currently exists, then this address will be blank or 0.0.0.0.
