Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P Full Routing on Both the Broadband and Serial Ports You can install, configure, and operate the FWG114P to take full advantage of a variety of routing options on both the serial and broadband WAN ports, including: • Internet access via either the serial or broadband port. • Auto fail-over connectivity through an analog or ISDN modem connected to the serial port. If the broadband Internet connection fails, after waiting for an amount of time you specify, the FWG114P can automatically establish a backup ISDN or dial-up Internet connection via the serial port on the firewall. • Remote Access Server (RAS) that allows you to log in remotely through the serial port to access a server on your LAN, other LAN resources, or the Internet, based on a user name and password you define. • LAN-to-LAN access between two FWG114P wireless firewall/print servers through the serial port, with the option of enabling auto-failover Internet access across the serial LAN-to-LAN connection. 802.11g and 802.11b Wireless Networking The FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access point. The access point provides: • 802.11b standards-based wireless networking at up to 11 Mbps. • 802.11g wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps, which conforms to the 802.11g standard. • WPA enterprise class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation. • WPA-PSK pre-shared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong security of WPA. • 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security. • WEP keys can be generated manually or by passphrase. • Wireless access can be restricted by MAC Address. • Wireless network name broadcast can be turned off so that only devices that have the network name (SSID) can connect. 2-2 Introduction March 2004, 202-10027-01
