Today’s companies rely on highly networked, secure computing environments to efficiency
and safely conduct business. Firewalls are a key component of any secure network.
Firewalls are configured to allow “desired” traffic in and to keep “undesired” traffic out.
This radio (access point) is also qualified for firewall management.
Please see the diagram below.
Acting as a firewall, the radio will filter your undesired data and protocols, only delivering
the wanted information to your PC.
Click the firewall link and you’ll be navigated to Firewall Management interface.
