Installation
Please be careful on these configurations. Any incorrect settings might cause the firewall to
block all traffic or make your network vulnerable to outside hacker attacks.
• Notification
You can configure a schedule to enable the Wireless-G Broadband Gateway to send an email
notification to a specified user any events on your Wireless-G Broadband Gateway.
This feature is useful if you want to acquire the security log remotely.
Please be aware that a higher level of firewall protection increases network security but might
affect your Wireless-G Broadband Gateway performance.
• Service Filters
You can add custom service filters not listed in the services tables. Select any added custom
service filters in the Policies section to enable advanced firewall settings.
• Policies
Policies are rules that you define for your firewall settings. You may define and schedule rules
for example, for inbound and outbound traffic.
