Limiting out-going services
Firewall factory settings are configured so that all out-going services are allowed. You can however configure it in such
a way that only certain out-going services are activated. Service which are not specified can then not be used by your
network users.
This is how to limit out-going services:
1. Activate next to Services the option field Allow the following outgoing services.
2. Click on the button Add service.
3. Describe the service you wish to activate in the fields marked Name, Type, Start Port and End Port.
4. Click on the button OK.
5. Add further services in this way to the list if desired.
6. Click on the button OK.
Additional protection with encryption
Your data is transmitted in plain text in computer networks if it is not encrypted.
This does not depend whether you use a LAN or a WLAN connection. Anyone who has access to your network can read
and manipulate these data files. You can minimise this security risk by using encryption software. Your data files are then
automatically transformed into an indecipherable form. The XSBoxR4v supports two encryption types for WLAN connec-
tions:
■ WPA (WiFi Protected Access)
■ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Note: If your PC/laptop supports die WPA encryption (eg. WPA1, WPA2, WPA1+2), then this should be preferred over WEP encryp-
tion. If you are not sure which standards your PC/laptop supports then please contact your computer manufacturer.
In addition the XSBoxR4v offers you the following possibilities to increase the security of your WLAN access:
■ Change the SSID
■ Deactivate the SSID transmission
■ Access control over MAC addresses
