ONFIGURATION
The Wireless Broadband Router provides extensive firewall protection by 
restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and 
defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks.
Firewall Configuration contains the following sections:
MAC/IP/P
ORT
 F
ILTERING
MAC/IP/Port filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of 
intrusion and defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. 
MAC/IP/Port filtering allows the unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic 
through its MAC addresses, IP addresses and ports. 
The Wireless Broadband Router allows you define a sequential list of permit 
or deny filtering rules (up to 32). This device tests ingress packets against 
the filter rules one by one. A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches 
a permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules 
match, the packet is either accepted or dropped depending on the default 
policy setting.
