Field Name	Description
Port Forwarding	Use this page to configure port forwarding for local IP
	addresses. Port forwarding allows you to run a server
	on the local area network (LAN) by specifying the
	mapping of TCP/UPD ports to local PCs or to the IP
	address of other devices. This is a static setting that
	holds the ports open at all times
Port Triggers	Use this page to configure TCP/UPD port triggers.
	Port triggering is similar to port forwarding, but is a
	dynamic function. In other words, the ports are not
	held open, and the ports close if no outgoing data is
	detected on the selected ports for a period of 10
	minutes
DMZ Host	Use this page to configure an IP address that is visible
(Demilitarized Zone)	to the wide area network (WAN). DMZ hosting is
	commonly referred to as “exposed host,” and allows
	you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic
	that Network Address Translation (NAT) is unable to
	translate to a known local PC.
	A DMZ is used by a company that wants to host its
	own Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized
	access to its private network. DMZ allows one IP
	address to be unprotected while others remain
	protected. The DMZ is located between the Internet
	and an internal network’s line of defense that is a
	combination of firewalls and bastion hosts.
	Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to
	Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP
	servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers, and domain name
	system (DNS) servers
