Internet security and the firewall

Changing the firewall settings
Your Magnia SG30 has the firewall enabled by default. You
can customize the firewall configuration using the
Administration Web site.
Turning off the firewall opens the system to any kind of
network access through the broadband Ethernet port (and the
modem or ISDN port when using a dial-up ISP). This means
access to the Magnia SG30 through these ports will be
regulated only by user account access privileges.
NOTE: Lowering the firewall is not recommended for any
Magnia SG30 connected to the Internet.
Advanced firewall usage
Under some circumstances, you may wish to keep the
firewall up, but open it to specific features. These features
might include access to server features (such as the FTP
server) from the Internet, or allowing additional access to a
client for special purposes such as multi-user Internet-based
gaming.
