Use this to Enable or Disable this Special Application as required. Enter a descriptive name to identify this Special Application.

Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data).

Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you receive. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the applica- tion server, for data you receive.

Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you send data to the remote system or service.

Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a sin- gle port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the applica- tion server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

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.

DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ PC" and other Internet users or Servers.

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".

The DMZ feature can be Enabled and Disabled on the Advanced Internet screen.
