3.7.1.5 DMZ Host
The DMZ (Demilitarized) Host feature allows one of the local computers to be exposed to the Internet. Designate a
DMZ host when:
 You wish to use a special-purpose Internet service, such as a video-conferencing program, that is not present in
the Port Forwarding list and for which no port range information is available.
 You are not concerned with security and wish to expose one computer to all services without restrictions.
Warning: A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may
also put other computers in the local network at risk. When designating a DMZ host, you must consider the security
implications and protect it if necessary.
An incoming request for access to a service in the local network, such as a Web server, is fielded by the L13. The L13
will forward this request to the DMZ host (if one is designated) unless the service is being provided by another PC in
the local network (assigned in Port Forwarding), in which case that PC will receive the request instead.
 To designate a local computer as a DMZ Host:
1. Click DMZ Host under the Firewall menu. The DMZ Host screen appears.
