Configuring Firewall Settings

2. Select the computer where you want to host the application(s) in the Select a computer 

section. When you host an application for a computer on your network, it implies that you 
are scaling down the firewall security levels for that application to be accessible on the 
specified computer.

3. Select the Allow individual application(s) radio button.

If the computer you want to select is not listed, you can still select it as long as it is on the 
same network, and you know its IP address. Enter the IP address of that computer, and 
then click Choose.

4. Filter the application list by selecting the category from the Filter Applications by bulleted 

list. Your selection is displayed in the Application List list box.

To select multiple applications, hold down the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys while making your 
selections. Using the [Shift] key lets you make your selections in a contiguous order while 
the [Ctrl] key selects the groups in a random order.

5. Click Add. The application appears in the Hosted Applications list box.

To remove a hosted application, select it in the Hosted Applications list box, and click 
Remove.

Creating an Application Profile

To create an application profile that bypasses the firewall settings:

1. Navigate to Settings > Firewall > Applications, Pinholes and DMZ. The Allow device 

application traffic to pass through firewall page appears.

2. Click Add a new user-defined application in the Edit firewall settings for this computer 

section. This lets you create an application profile that is not included in the application 
list. An application profile configures the gateway firewall to let the application-specific data 
pass through. The Firewall Application Profile Definition page appears.
