DMZ

 

 

 

 

 

Administrator Password

 

 

 

 

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks. To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its LAN IP address in the “Static IP” field and click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. If you have only one public (WAN) IP address, then you can leave the public IP to “0.0.0.0”. If you are using multiple public (WAN) IP addresses, it is possible to select which public (WAN) IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the public (WAN) IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, and click “Apply Changes”.

The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for more security, you can set a password from your Router’s web-based user interface. Keep your password in a safe place as you will need this password if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature.

The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.

Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any more changes. The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes. Note, only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface at a time.
