Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P
• Classical IP (RFC 1577)

services. In such cases, the firewall is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP.

Easy Installation and Management

You can install, configure, and operate the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model
FWG114P within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify
installation and management tasks:
• Automatic fail-over connectivity through an analog or ISDN modem connected to the serial
port. If the broadband modem Internet connection fails, after waiting for an amount of time
you specify, the FWG114P can automatically establish a backup ISDN or dial-up Internet
connection via the serial port on the firewall.
• Browser-based management: Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your
router from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A
user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the
browser-based Web Management Interface.
• Smart Wizard: The FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server automatically senses the type of
Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• Diagnostic functions: The firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping,
DNS lookup, and remote reboot.
• Remote management: The firewall allows you to log in to the Web Management Interface
from a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access
to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses, and you can choose a nonstandard port
number.

an easy way to monitor its status and activity.
