III‐3‐6‐3. DMZ
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an isolated area in your local network where private IP addresses are mapped to specified internet IP addresses, allowing unrestricted access to the private IP addresses but not to the wider local network.
You can define a virtual DMZ host here. This is useful for example, if a network client PC cannot run an application properly from behind an NAT firewall, since it opens the client up to unrestricted two‐way access.

| device’s DMZ function. |

| For “Dynamic IP” select an Internet connection |

Client PC | Enter the private IP address that the internet IP |
