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.
