Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to
be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is
causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing
application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ
is NOT protected from hacker attacks.

If your ISP subscription provides you with additional public (WAN) IP
addresses, additional computers can be placed outside the firewall provided
each computer uses a different public (WAN) IP.
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP
field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect.
