Introducing the Prestige Firewall 
This chapter shows you how to get started with the Prestige firewall. 
13.1 Access Methods 
The web configurator is, by far, the most comprehensive firewall configuration tool your Prestige has to 
offer. For this reason, it is recommended that you configure your firewall using the web configurator; see the 
following chapters for instructions. SMT screens allow you to activate the firewall and view firewall logs.  
13.2  Using Prestige SMT Menus 
From the main menu enter 21 to go to Menu 21 - Filter Set and Firewall Configuration to display the 
screen shown next.

13.2.1 Activating the Firewall 
Enter option 2 in this menu to bring up the following screen. Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to 
select Yes in the Active field to activate the firewall. The firewall must be active to protect against Denial of 
Service (DoS) attacks. Additional rules may be configured using the web configurator.
