PAGE 44
CRADLEPOINT MBR1200 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.12 5.3 Firewall Use the Firewall sub-menu to protect your network from the outside world. The MBR1200 provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to public Internet view. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall.
PAGE 45
CRADLEPOINT MBR1200 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.12  Port And Address Restricted. The NAT does not forward any incoming connection requests with the same port address as an already establish connection. NOTE: Some of these options can interact with other port restrictions.
