Advanced Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your FVS114 ProSafe VPN
Firewall. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the main menu of the
browser interface.
WAN Setup
Using the WAN Setup page, you can set up a Default DMZ Server and allow the router to respond
to a 'ping' from the internet. Both of these options have security issues, so use them carefully.

• Connect Automatically, as Required : Normally, this option should be enabled. An Internet
connection will be made automatically after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is
detected. This provides connection on demand and is potentially cost-saving.
If disabled, you must connect manually, using the "WAN Status" button on the Router
Maintenance/Router Status screen. This manual connection will stay up all the time without
timeouts.
