Refer to the

Global Firewall Disable

field to enable or disable the access point firewall.

3.

Refer to the

Timeout Configuration

field to define a timeout interval to terminate IP address

translations.

Disable Firewall

Select the

Disable Firewall

checkbox to disable all firewall

functions on the access point. This includes firewall filters, NAT, VP,
content filtering, and subnet access. Disabling the access point
firewall makes the access point vulnerable to data attacks and is
not recommended during normal operation if using the WAN port.

NAT Timeout

Network Address Translation (NAT) converts an IP address in one
network to a different IP address or set of IP addresses in a
different network. Set a

NAT Timeout

interval (in minutes) the

access point

uses to terminate the IP address translation process

if no translation activity is detected after the specified interval.
