Access Control
Use Access Control to configure advanced security functions by customising the NB5 Firewall. The
default 'Firewall On' setting blocks all anonymous Internet traffic. Access control enables the user to
selectively direct such traffic, for example to a Web Host in the DMZ or to specific ports opened for
such applications as Web, Telnet or FTP.
CAUTION: This dialog box indicates that you should not disable LAN Web Access or
else you might not be able to connect to the device. If you become locked
out of the device perform a Factory Default Reset as detailed in the
beginning of this manual.
To configure Access Control, click on Advanced>Firewall>Access Control
This will reveal the Enable Access Control screen.
The default configuration enables Telnet, Web, FTP and SSH access FROM the LAN TO the WAN.
Access FROM the WAN to the LAN is not available in the default configuration.
