If you are uncertain what port number to add, press Auto configure accepted ports by current services, the system will detect the ports you need to use, and add the ports into the accepted ports list automatically. 29 Virtual Server and DMZ Select Standard Settings > Network Settings > Virtual Server and DMZ to configure virtual server and DMZ. You can set up a virtual server on your LAN and deploy DMZ (De-militarized zone) for security reasons. In the computer network, the purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's Local Area Network (LAN) to prevent the external attacker from direct access to the Server containing the company's sensitive information. The users on the Internet are only allowed to access the equipment in the DMZ, rather than the whole of the network. In the general DMZ, the corporate websites allow the external users to search and use the corporate resources, but the internal confidential information is not publicly accessible. Therefore, even if any hi-hacker attacks the DMZ to send the company's website into a catastrophic situation, the important information of the company will still be protected, and will not be exposed. Click the On or Off button to enable or disable the virtual server and DMZ. Select Virtual Server and click Settings to bring up the Virtual Server page if you plan to direct the selected service ports to a specified virtual IP. In the Connection Port field and LAN port field, enter the respective service port numbers. Enter a specified virtual IP address in LAN IP address and click Add to confirm the setting. When the value is defaulted as 0, it means there is not limit for how long the user can use the selected services. Six types of service options of Mail, Web Mail, User Interface, FTP, Network Neighborhood, and Personal Web Page can be enabled or disabled according to user or networking demands. Click the check box of a specific service option to allow the user to use the selected service, and click Modify to confirm the changes. Click the checkbox of a specified service under Global Settings (this page), and press Modify to permit all members to use the selected service. 33 New User Account Select Standard Settings > User Management > New User Account to create a new user account in the Server. Please enter lowercase alphanumeric characters and underscores only for user account. The first character of the user account must be an alphabetical character. Alias: An alias could be used as an arbitrary email address and there is no need to create an additional user account on the Server. An email message addressed to the alias is forwarded to an existing email address. For example, when a user account "april_Lee" with an alias of "service" is created, the actual email account will be april_Lee@xyz. com. With an alias of "service", the owner of the user account can receive emails sent to either april_Lee@xyz. com or service@xyz. com. April's co-workers only need to enter service in the To field, and the mail will be forwarded to april_Lee@xyz. com.
