Firewall VPN Router installation
This product is a hardware firewall. Therefore the installation is much easier
than a software firewall. First the user has to prepare three network cables,
and connect them to the internal, external and DMZ connectors respectively.
The internal interface has to connect to the office’s internal network on the
same HUB/Switch. The external interface has to connect with an external
router, DSL modem, or Cable modem. The DMZ interface connects to an
independent HUB/Switch for the DMZ network.
Firewall VPN Router function setting
The Firewall VPN Router has a built in WEBUI (Web User Interface). All
configurations and management are done through the WEBUI using an
Internet web browser.
Firewall VPN Router monitoring function
The firewall provides monitoring functions which contains traffic log, event
log, traffic alarm, event alarm, and traffic statistics. Traffic alarm records the
packets of hacker invasions. Not only does the firewall log these attacks, it
can be set up to send E-mail alerts to the Administrator automatically for
immediate hacker’s invasion crisis management.
