The Firewall Wizard

Your LANCOM features a stateful inspection firewall and firewall filter that
provides effective protection from the Internet for your WLAN. The core con-
cept of the stateful inspection firewall is that the only data transfers that are
considered to be valid are those implemented by the protected device itself.
All access attepts that were not requested from within the local network are
invalid.
The Firewall Wizard assists you to generate new rules for the firewall quickly
and conveniently.
More information on your LANCOM's firewall and its configuration are avai-
lable in the reference manual.
