except as configured in the Access
Control screen
These services include Telnet, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
The list of allowed services at 'Maximum Security' mode can be edited in the screen's
'Access Control on page
Some applications (such as some Internet messengers and Peer-To-Peer client
applications) tend to use these ports if they cannot connect with their own default ports.
When applying this behavior, these applications are not blocked outbound, even at
Maximum Security Level.
To configure the device's security settings:
(See the figure 'General Security Level Settings' on page
)
1.
Choose from among the three predefined security levels described in the table above.
'Maximum Security' is the default setting.
Using the Minimum Security setting may expose the home network to
significant security risks, and thus should only be used, when necessary, for
short periods of time.
2.
Check the 'Block IP Fragments' check box to protect your home network from a
common type of hacker attack that could make use of fragmented data packets to
sabotage your home network. Note that some UDP-based services make legitimate
use of IP fragments. You need to allow IP fragments to pass into the home network to
make use of these select services.
3.
In the 'TCP Session timeout' field, enter the time-to-live (TTL) in units of seconds for
TCP sessions. The valid range is 1 to 3600 hours (default is an hour).
4.

OK
to save the changes.
