6.10 Configuring Firewall Settings
The AP-5131's firewall is a set of related programs located in the gateway on the WAN side of the
AP-5131. The firewall uses a collection of filters to screen information packets for known types of
system attacks. Some of the AP-5131's filters are continuously enabled, others are configurable.
Use the AP-5131’s Firewall screen to enable or disable the configurable firewall filters. Enable each
filter for maximum security. Disable a filter if the corresponding attack does not seem a threat in order
to reduce processor overhead. Use the WLAN Security screens (WEP, Kerberos etc.) as required for
setting user authentication and data encryption parameters.
To configure the AP-5131 firewall settings:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Firewall
from the AP-5131 menu tree.
2. Refer to the Global Firewall Disable field to enable or disable the AP-5131 firewall.
