Secure installation, configuration, and management

Installation is quick and simple. All that is required to get the DFL-500 up and running and protecting your

network is to connect to the web-based manager and use the firewall setup wizard. You can also do the basic

configuration from the DFL-500 command line interface (CLI).

When initially connected to your network, the DFL-500 comes with a default configuration that provides basic

security features. From this foundation you can use the web-based manager to customize the configuration to

meet your needs.

Web-based manager

Using a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Internet Explorer, you can configure and

manage the DFL-500. It can also be configured for secure administration from the external network (Internet).

Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately without the need to reset

Once a satisfactory configuration has been established, it can be downloaded and saved. The saved

configuration can be restored at any time.

Command line interface

management computer to the DFL-500 RS-232 serial connection.
