You may wish to restrict access to the web-based screens to prevent inadver tent switching or connecting and 
disconnecting of Connection Profiles. Since Smar tStar t can be used to reconfigure the router, you may wish to 
block inadver tent damage resulting from unauthorized use of Smar tStar t. To prevent access to these features 
toggle this option to “No”.
Telnet access
Telnet is a TCP/IP ser vice that allows remote terminals to access hosts on an IP network. The Netopia R2121 
suppor ts Telnet access to its configuration screens. 
Caution!
 
You should consider password-protecting or restricting Telnet access to the Netopia R2121 if you suspect there 
is a chance of tampering.
To password-protect the configuration screens, select Easy Setup from the Main Menu, and go to the 
 
Easy

About filters and filter sets
 
Security should be a high priority for anyone administering a network connected to the Internet. Using packet 
filters to control network communications can greatly improve your network’s security.
The Netopia R2121’s packet filters are designed to provide security for the Internet connections made to and 
from your network. You can customize the router’s filter sets for a variety of packet filtering applications. 
Typically, you use filters to selectively admit or refuse TCP/IP connections from cer tain remote networks and 
specific hosts. You will also use filters to screen par ticular types of connections. This is commonly called 
firewalling your network.
Before creating filter sets, you should read the next few sections to learn more about how these power ful 
security tools work.
 
What’s a filter and what’s a filter set?
 
A filter is a rule that lets you specify what sor t of data can flow in and out of your network. A par ticular filter can 
either be an input filter—one that is used on data (packets) coming in to your network from the Internet—or an 
output filter—one that is used on data (packets) going out from your network to the Internet.
A filter set is a group of filters that work together to check incoming or outgoing data. A filter set can consist of 
a combination of input and output filters.
