The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server. Note: The priority of FTP/HTTP server in DMZ is higher than that in NAS. Parameters Description Enable DMZ Enable/disable DMZ Note: If there is a conflict between the Virtual Server and the DMZ setting, then Virtual Server function will have priority over the DMZ function. Public IP Address The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses given to you by your ISP Client PC IP Address Input the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly. 2.8 Print Server The router USB ports provide Print Server function to share printers for the network users.
