Snooze Control
The snooze feature allows you to bypass the firewall for a set amount of time so outside support
personnel can access your gateway or network. Note: Important! This function is recommended for use
only when you require this special level of unrestricted access as it leaves your Gateway and network
exposed to the Internet with no firewall protection.
