What is Administration?
“Administration” is the managing of settings such as the privileges of packets
that pass through the firewall and monitoring controls. Administrators may
manage, monitor, and configure firewall settings. All configurations are “read-
only” for all users other than the Administrator; those users are not able to
change any settings for the firewall.
The three sub functions under
Administrator
are
Wizard, Admin, Setting,
Date/Time,
and
Software Update.
Wizard:
Includes a setup wizard to configure the Firewall quickly for Internet
access. Refer to the
Quick Installion Guide

Setting:
The Administrator may use this function to backup firewall
configurations and export (save) them to an
“Administrator”
computer or
anywhere on the network; or restore a configuration file to the DFL-80; or restore
the firewall back to default factory settings.
Under
Setting
, the Administrator
may enable e-mail alert notification. This will alert Administrator(s) automatically
whenever the firewall has experienced unauthorized access or a network hit
(intrusion or flooding).
Once enabled, an IP address of a SMTP(Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol) server is required.
Up to two e-mail addresses can be entered
for the alert notifications.
Date/Time:
This function enables the Firewall to be synchronized either with
an Internet Time Server or with the client computer’s clock.
