The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) feature puts one network computer, usually one which provides services to users outside of the network and is therefore more vulnerable, in a subnetwork exposed to the Internet. This adds an additional layer of security to the local area network (LAN). The objective of this article is to explain the DMZ settings on the SPA8000 Analog Telephone Adapter.
