Configuration Section 3 ROUTING Page - All Configuration Options Field DMZ IP Address: (ADVANCED) Port Forwards: (ADVANCED) Description Sets one device on your local network (specified by IP address) to be a De-militarized Zone (DMZ). A DMZ receives all broadband communication requests that might otherwise be blocked by the Access Point's firewall, as is often needed for real-time Internet gaming. Leave this field blank if no DMZ is desired. NOTE: This setting is only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) Sets rules for forwarding inbound broadband communications, destined to specific WAN ports, to specific clients on your local network (specified by IP address). You may optionally specify a destination port range on the LAN side of the WA840 as well. This feature can be particularly useful to support a web server, or other special service, on your local network. NOTE: These settings are only used if Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router. You can store up to 20 port forwarding rules, and selectively enable one or more of them when desired, using the Enabled checkbox at the end of each row. NOTE: Port forwards will be applied in the order in which they are listed on this page. For each port forward, the following 3 items can be entered: (1) WAN Port Range: These two fields ("Start" and "End") define a range of WAN ports that will be monitored as part of the port forward. To forward communications from a single port, enter the same port number in both fields. This information must be entered for each port forward.
