You can also configure firewall and content filtering on the P-660RU-Tx for secure Internet access. By default, the P-660RU-Tx prevents DDOS, LAND and Ping of Death attacks whether the firewall is enabled or disabled. You can further block SYN Flood and Port Scanner attacks by turning on the firewall.

Use content filtering to block access to specific web sites, with URL’s containing keywords that you specify. For example, you could block access to certain web sites for the kids.

Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the P-660RU-Tx gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.
