Firewall This page allows you to choose the firewall settings of the Gateway in order to protect the computers within your home network from malicious attacks from outsiders. In addition you can use this feature to restrict a computer within your home network from accessing certian Internet traffic by IP address and by logical ports. 3 security levels are proposed:

Minimum (default) Medium Maximum Administration Gateway Router Status - Telephony - Router - Wireless eMTA-Settings Firewall : This page allows you to restrict a computer within your home network from accessing certain internet traffic by IP address and by logical ports. Security Minimum Minimum Medium (filter input) Maximum (filter both input and output) LAN WAN Computer Firewall Forward DMZ Minimum Level of Security The minimum level allows all the incoming and outgoing traffic, except for:

Windows Ports:

137, 138, 139. These ports are used for local networks. So, the Firewall allows a minimum level of security. Apple products are also supported Medium Level of Security This level of security blocks all the incoming traffic and allows all outgoing traffic. Already established connections are accepted. 30 Web Configuration Maximum Level of Security This level blocks all the incoming and outgoing traffic with the following exceptions:

Connections to the following services (servers located on the WAN) are accepted:

FTP (port 20/21) www.(port 80) in TCP http (port 443) in TCP SMTP (port 25) in TCP and UDP POP2 (port 109) in TCP and UDP POP3 (port 110) in TCP and UDP nntp (port 119) in TCP All the packets of an already established connection are accepted. 5. Forwarding For LAN / WAN communications, the Gateway normally allows you to originate an IP connection only with a PC on the WAN; it will ignore attempts of the WAN PC to originate a connection onto your PC. This protects you from malicious attacks from outsiders. However, sometimes you may wish for anyone outside to be able to originate a connection to a particular PC on your LAN, if the destination port

(application) matches one that you specify. Administration Gateway Router Status - Telephony - Router - Wireless eMTA-Settings Forwarding : This allows for incoming requests on specific port numbers to reach web servers, FTP servers, mail servers, etc. so they can be accessible from the public internet.

The Wireless Web Pages Group enables a variety of settings that can provide secure and reliable wireless communications. The Advanced Cable Gateway offers a choice of the following:

WEP and WPA/WPA2 authentication of your PCs to the Gateway Encryption keys for communication between the Gateway and your PCs to guarantee security An Access Control List function that enables you to restrict wireless access to only your specific PCs. Performance Because your wireless communication travels through the air, the default wireless channel setting may not provide optimum performance in your home if you or your neighbors have other interfering 2.4GHz devices such as cordless phones. If your wireless PC is experiencing very sluggish or dramatically slower communication compared with the speed you achieve on your PC that is wired to the Gateway, try changing the channel number. See the 802.11b/g Basic Web Page discussion below for details. Authentication Authentication enables you to restrict your Gateway from communicating with any remote wireless PCs that arent yours. The following minimum authentication-related changes to factory defaults are recommended. See the 802.11b/g Basic and Access Control Web Page discussions below for details. Network Name (SSID) Set a unique name you choose Access Control List Enter your wireless PCs MAC addresses 34 Web Configuration Security Security secures or scrambles messages traveling through the air between your wireless PCs and the gateway, so they cant be observed by others. The following minimum security setting changes to factory defaults are recommended.

Basic Security Access Control Security WPA Passphrase WPA2-PSK(AES) Apply Cancel Click on apply WPA2-PSK (AES) authentication and encryption The authentication uses a 4-way handshake to check wether the Pre shared Keys (PSKs) are identical. Advanced Encryption Standard () is the state of the art encryption mechanism which provides the highest form of security for home users. 37 Web Configuration Other security modes available:

WPA-PSK (TKIP) This is the default security mode. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is used for dynamic encryption of the data. WEP-Open and WEP-Shared If one of these security modes is chosen, you have to enter a 128 bits encryption key Encryption Key 128 bits The key used for WEP is a 128 bit hexadecimal ([0-9] [A-F]) key. The key is composed of 26 hexadecimal characters. 38 3. Access Control This page allows you to ensure security by setting an access control to the Access Point (AP).
