For Internet access, connect the WAN Ethernet port to your existing Internet access gateway

(company network, or your cable or DSL modem for example). Connect computers or servers

to the LAN ports for shared Internet access. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on

access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is

blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to

your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files for

Use content filtering to block access to web sites containing keywords that you specify. You

can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or

exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example, you could
