FCD-IPMInstallation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Configuration

Supervisor Access

FCD-IPM has the option of dual–level password access. This allows certain menus to be blocked from a regular user, while permitting a supervisor to access and alter the parameters of these menus. To use this option, set a Monitor Supervisor Password.

To set a Monitor Supervisor Password:

1.From the Security Setup menu, select option 1, Device Access Restrictions.

2.From the Device Access Restrictions menu, select option 9, Monitor Supervisor Password.

Note Leaving Password blank removes login protection.

Firewall Option

Solid Firewall is a rule-based security mechanism, which monitors incoming and outgoing traffic and allows or restricts access according to the user-defined criteria (rules).

You can configure the Solid Firewall to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic on any WAN and LAN link. The firewall blocks all traffic coming from the unprotected network segment to the protected section, and allows traffic from protected to unprotected segments. Only those applications that are enabled via the application list (e.g. HTTP, FTP, POP3 servers, etc.) are allowed for use. By default, the Solid Firewall is disabled.

To select the Solid Firewall interface and direction:

1.From the Main menu, select option 2, Security Setup.

2.From the Security Setup menu, select option 2, Firewall Options. The Firewall Setup menu appears (see Figure 4-8).

3.From the Firewall Setup menu, type 1.

The Firewall Interface menu appears (see Figure 4-9).

4.From the Firewall Interface menu, type A and define the link on which you intend to set the firewall and traffic type to monitor:

Inbound – The firewall blocks the traffic coming into FCD-IPM via the link on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall forwards the traffic going out of the firewall-protected interface to its destination.

Outbound – The firewall blocks the traffic going out of FCD-IPM via the link on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall grants access to the traffic coming into FCD-IPM from the network segment attached to the firewall-protected interface.

5. Press <Esc> and save new values.
