There is a built-in firewall capability in the MultiCom Firewall. When it is
enabled all incoming data is denied unless there is a mapping rule in the NAT
table for the interface it is active on. For instance, if the Firewall was enabled for
the WAN interface, no data would be allowed through it unless it matched a rule
in the NAT table for that interface.)
Typically this capability is enabled along with a single rule in the WAN outgoing
interface that masquerades all data as if it had originated from the WAN port
itself. What this does is limit communication to only be allowed in response to a
request from the internal LAN.
Firmware
The basic software and data that is written to the read-only memory (ROM) of
your router. This data is written to the Flash memory which is protected from
power outages and reboots of the device. If your firewall has damaged firmware it
will not know how to manage any activity.
Higher version numbers often contain additional functionality. Please check the
Lightning Instrumentation website at http://www.lightning.ch/support for
information on the most recent version available.
Flag
A TCP identifier found in the header of a TCP data packet.
Common types include.
Flash Memory
This is a type of memory that has similarities to both RAM and ROM. Its
similarity to RAM is that it can be modified on-line. It acts like ROM in respect
that it retains its contents even if the MultiCom is turned off.
In your MultiCom, it is used to store both the firmware and the configuration.
Unlike a ROM memory, it is possible to install a new release of the firmware and
store it in the Flash memory of your MultiCom.

ACK
Acknowledgment field significant
PSH
Push Function, indicating that this segment contains data
that must be pushed through to the receiving user
RST

SYN

TCP connection)
