Wireless ADSL Modem User’s Manual 89
Outbound Policy
The Outbound Policy allows you to filter outbound (from the user side LAN to the
WAN) packets based on a set of rules. This enables you to deny access to different
sources and thus increase security.
A table of outbound policies is displayed with the following information. If there are no
policies, then a message stating “No Entries in Outbound Policy Database” will be
displayed in place of the table.
