SpeedTouch™ Web Interface

4.6.3 Assign Public IP

Introduction This page allows you to assign the public IP address of your Internet Connection(s) to a specific device on your local network. You might want to do this if:

You do not want to use the Network Address Translation engine of your SpeedTouch™.

This device is running server applications (web server,...) and you want it to be accessible from the Internet.

You can also achieve this by creating a port mapping for the specified

server, as described in “4.5.2 Game & Application Sharing” on page 55.

This device has to be considered as the unique access point to your local network (DMZ).

!	It is not recommended to use this feature as this device will loose all
	security offered by the SpeedTouch™.
