Introduction

Welcome to the world of Internet computing!  Intergraph Computer Systems’ InterServe Firewall is a
server system configured for use as a security device known as a 

network firewall

.  InterServe

Firewall controls external network access to and from your organization’s internal Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network.

Your InterServe Firewall was delivered with the Microsoft Windows NT Server operating system and
associated system software.  The system was also delivered with Raptor Systems Eagle NT firewall-
dedicated software to help you set up and run a network firewall.  Eagle NT acts as a security wall
and gateway between a secure, internal network and networks that are not secure (such as the
Internet).  Eagle NT offers bidirectional Internet security -- simultaneously prohibiting unwanted
intruders from accessing the corporate network and managing internal users' Internet access
privileges.
