6.4 Configuring the Windows XP Firewall
The Windows XP Firewall blocks all network communication which is not initialized by the
controller itself or which is defined as unwanted. It protects the controller from an attack of
hostile users and programs. On the instrument, the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is
activated for all network connections by default to enhance protection of the instrument.
The default configuration of the firewall enables data transfer with other controllers in a local
network, file and printer sharing and remote control via LAN. To change these settings for
security reasons, perform the following steps:
➢
Using the Windows key or the key combination CTRL + ESC , call the Windows XP Start
menu.
➢
Click Settings and then Control Panel and Windows Firewall .
The Windows Firewall dialog box is displayed.
