Chapter 3: Web Configuration
3.1 System
The Multi-Homing Security Gateway Administration and monitoring configuration is set by the System
Administrator. The System Administrator can add or modify System settings and monitoring mode. The sub
Administrators can only read System settings but not modify them. In System, the System Administrator can:
1. Add and change the sub Administrator’s names and passwords;
2. Back up all Multi-Homing Security Gateway settings into local files;
“System” is the managing of settings such as the privileges of packets that pass through the Multi-Homing
Security Gateway and monitoring controls. Administrators may manage, monitor, and configure Multi-Homing
Security Gateway settings. All configurations are “read-only” for all users other than the Administrator; those
users are not able to change any settings for the Multi-Homing Security Gateway.
System setting can divide into two parts: Administration, Configure and Logout.
Administration:
Admin: controls user access right to the Multi-Homing Security Gateway. User can add/remove users and
change passwords.
Permitted IPs : Enables the Administrator to authorize specific internal/external IP address(es) for gateway
managing.
Software Update: The administrator can update the device’s software with the latest version downloaded
from Planet’s website, in order to optimize the performance and keep up with the latest fixes for intruding
attacks.
Configure:
Setting: The Administrator may use this function to backup Multi-Homing Security Gateway configurations
and export (save) them to a computer; or restore a configuration file to the device; or reset the Multi-Homing
Security Gateway back to default factory settings. Under Setting, the Administrator may enable e-mail alert
notification. This will alert Administrator(s) automatically whenever the Multi-Homing Security Gateway has
experienced unauthorized access or a network hit (hacking or flooding). Once enabled, an IP address of a
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer protocol) Server is required. Up to two e-mail addresses can be entered for the
alert notifications.
Date/Time: This function enables the Multi-Homing Security Gateway to be synchronized based on an
Internet Time Server or with the client computer’s clock.

connecting to the internet via WAN IP Address.
