Security
GateLock protects your PC and home network from hackers by blocking
unauthorized external connections and cloaking your IP address, making your
computer and home network "invisible" to other people on the Internet. With its
powerful firewall features, it monitors network traffic and detects and blocks
intrusion attempts. GateLock keeps records of detected hacker attempts and can also
be configured to send you email notifications about these attempts.
Aside from anti-hacker features, GateLock is also packed with Trend Micro’s
powerful antivirus technology. It can scan your incoming POP3 and outgoing SMTP
mail messages, and even your Web-based email attachments, for viruses. To ensure
that your antivirus protection is always up-to-date, you can set up GateLock to
automatically download updates for its antivirus components from Trend Micro’s
update server. GateLock automatically records details of up to 30 most recently
detected viruses and antivirus component updates.
Sharing Capability
Your new GateLock also functions as a router that makes it very easy for you to set
up your home network. It allows up to 32 users in your home network to
simultaneously access the Internet using a single broadband connection. No driver or
software is needed to share your broadband connection as long as the TCP/IP
protocol is installed.
GateLock can also function as a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses
to your devices so that you do not have to choose and manually set up IP addresses.
Ease of Use
GateLock is a plug-n-play device that requires minimal setup. With your preferred
Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, 4.0 or above), you
can configure GateLock in a matter of minutes.
To make it even easier, a Quick Setup wizard is included to lead you through the
initial configuration steps. Advanced users who need to perform extra tasks like
mapping IP addresses or port numbers for their servers and customizing firewall
rules, Gatelock’s intuitive configuration console enables quick configuration. Even if
