Configuring the Wireless Barricade

50

Specify the public port number normally associated with an 
application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP 
or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The 
ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or 
a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96.

Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the 
Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the 
application and then choose a row number to copy this data into.

Note:

Choosing a row that already contains data will 
overwrite the current settings.

For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see 
www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

Firewall

The Wireless Barricade firewall can provide access control of 
connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP 
Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf 
Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and 
TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect 
system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect 
your network users. To access the firewall menu, select Enable 
and click on Apply.
