Reference Manual for the Model DM602 ADSL Modem

5-10 Advanced Configuration of the Modem

The Security menu, shown in Figure 5-9, allows the configuration of a Default DMZ Server.

Figure 5-9. DMZ menu.

To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server:

1. Check the check box to enable the DMZ feature

2. Type the IP address for that server.

3. Click Apply.

Device Mode

The modem includes a limited feature router to make the process of configuring your connection

easier and more secure. You can change the operation of the modem from Modem Device Mode to

Router Device Mode.

In Modem Device Mode, the modem operates like a DSL modem, passing all the Internet

communications directly to your computer where you must then configure your settings and logon

settings as needed.

Note: For security, you should avoid using the DMZ Server feature. When a computer

is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the modem,

and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet.

Note: If you need to delete the IP address of the DMZ server, you must enter 0.0.0.0 as

the address, and then click the Apply button.
