Firewall Security

Level Services Table

The following information is related to the Firewall options (High, Medium, and
Low) section in the “Using Advanced Setup” chapter of this manual (see page 33).
The types of services and their respective ports are listed in the two right-hand
columns: the “In” column details whether a particular service can be accessed by a
user outside of the network; and the “Out” column details whether a computer on
the Modem’s network can access a particular incoming service.
For example, in the “High Security Level” section below, the http service uses port
80. Since no is listed in the In column, a user outside the Modem’s network cannot
access a computer on the network via the http service; in this case, no computers
on the network can be used as a Web server (i.e., to host a Web site accessible to
outside users). However, since yes is listed in the Out column, all computers on the
Modem’s network can access the Internet via the http port.
If Basic Security is selected in the “Firewall” screen, firewall filtering is based on the
basic NAT firewall.
