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.
This device has to be considered as the unique access point to your local
network (DMZ).
Accessing the Assign
Public IP page
Proceed as follows:
1On the Home Network menu, click Devices.
2In the Pick a task... list, click Assign the public IP address of a connection to a
device.
