Mobile firewall settings
You can configure a network firewall for the XBee Industrial Gateway mobile network interface in the
firewall configuration page. This firewall reduces cellular traffic and cloaks the device, making it
harder to find and reduces the risk of unauthorized access and attacks. While this firewall does not
reduce the traffic sent to the device, it prevents the device from replying to it, because the firewall
discards the packets sent to it, unless the packets are associated with an established communication
(connection).
Note
This is available for Cellular models only.
See
Firewalls and required open ports
for more information.
