If the firewall is ENABLED, ALL traffic from your computer is blocked from the Internet
with the exception of XGate and XWeb traffic. This setting is recommended when using
the Halo in areas where there may be many users competing for the wireless network
bandwidth thereby causing slow and painful Internet connections.
If the firewall is DISABLED, ALL traffic is permitted, allowing unfettered access to the
Internet as well as XGate and XWeb traffic.
If you want to sync some applications or perform some other function that is currently
being blocked, i.e. streaming video, you must Disable the Firewall.
To Disable the Firewall, click <Disable Firewall>.
To Enable the Firewall, click <Enable Firewall>.
NOTE: When the <Disable Firewall> button is presented and the “Status” of the
Firewall is: ON, then the Firewall is currently on, and Clicking the button will Disable the
Firewall. Otherwise, when the <Enable Firewall> button is presented and the “Status”
of the Firewall is: OFF, then the Firewall is currently off.
