A Powerful, True Firewall

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FVS318 is a true firewall, using stateful packet
inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:
Denial of Service (DoS) protection
Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death,
SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing.
Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.
Logs security incidents
The FVS318 will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and
administrator logins. You can configure the firewall to email the log to you at specified
intervals. You can also configure the firewall to send immediate alert messages to your email
address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.

Content Filtering

With its content filtering feature, the FVS318 prevents objectionable content from reaching your
PCs. The firewall allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords
within Web addresses. You can configure the firewall to log and report attempts to access
objectionable Internet sites.
Configurable Auto Uplink™ Ethernet Connection
With its internal 8-port 10/100 switch, the FVS318 can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The 10/100 Mbps LAN and WAN
interfaces are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
