DMZ Setup
A DMZ (De-militarized zone) is an option for our NAT Configured radios on ePMP
The purpose of a DMZ is to forward port traffic to a customers router, where the router will then pass along the port traffic to the correct device on their network.
Reasons to set up a DMZ include:
- Double NAT error on PS4/Xbox
- Most home security systems/IOT devices
- Advanced networking a home user wants to do
To set up a DMZ, log into the customers CPE and take the following steps:
- Click on Monitor → Network
- Copy the MAC address and note the IP address of their router
- It will show up as LAN
- NOTE: If you see multiple devices on the LAN, they most likely have a switch or their router is not in router mode. Have them fix this accordingly for DMZ to work properly.
- Once the MAC address is copied, click on Configuration → Network
- Make sure the DMZ is enabled and type the IP address of their router
- NOTE: It will be a 192.168.199.X address, other ranges will not work
- The range should start on 192.168.199.2
- To ensure the IP address handed out by our CPE does not change, go to Configure → Network
- Look for “Ethernet Interface”
- Paste the MAC address of their router, set the IP to what the DMZ is set to and name is “CustomerRouter”
BE SURE TO SAVE ALL YOUR CHANGES TO THE CPE
A reboot will not be required
