DMZ

Use this page to designate a computer or gaming station on the

Local Area Network as a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). When you

set up a DMZ, all ports on that computer are opened up to all

Internet traffic – the computer is no longer protected by the X5’s

NAT firewall. Caution should be used when setting up a computer

with a DMZ. A game station does not have the same security

issues as your computer so setting up a DMZ works well with your

game station.

You may want to create a DMZ if a computer in your network is

acting as a web server or hosting Internet games.

You need to manually assign an IP address to the DMZ.

DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP address of the computer or

gaming station designated as a DMZ.

Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP

address for DMZ to work properly.

Click Save/Apply.

Port Triggering

Port triggering allows a host machine to dynamically forward a

specific port back to itself and is a way to automate port

forwarding. When traffic is seen on an outgoing port any traffic

received on the corresponding incoming port will be forwarded to

your computer or gaming station.

To set up port triggering, follow the instructions below.

1 Click Advanced SetupÆ NATÆ Port Triggering.

2 Click Add to add a new Port Triggering rule.

3 Check the drop down list next to Server Name (check that

this is called server name). If your game or application is listed,

go ahead and select it.

4 Click Save/Apply.
