Chapter 13 - Configuring The Firewall
Firewall Configuration
The above figure shows the firewall menu prior to configuration.
Configure the firewall through the provided menus. The “Check Firewall” button can
be selected after each menu configuration to check the existing configuration and
provide notice of items still to be configured.
When the firewall is fully configured, the “Start Firewall” button may be selected.
Starting the firewall in this way will provide more detail (in the event of a problem).
If the firewall starts cleanly, the menu appearance will change to that of the figure
below.
In order to start the firewall at each and every boot, you must enable it via the System
folder, Bootup And Shutdown menu.
