Introduction - Intergraph InterServe Firewall Quick Start Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the world of Internet computing! Intergraph Computer Systems' InterServe Firewall is a
server system configured for use as a security device known as a network firewall. InterServe
Firewall controls external network access to and from your organization' s internal Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network.
Your InterServe Firewall was delivered with the Microsoft Windows NT Server operating system and
associated system software. The system was also delivered with Raptor Systems Eagle NT firewall-
dedicated software to help you set up and run a network firewall. Eagle NT acts as a security wall
and gateway between a secure, internal network and networks that are not secure (such as the
Internet). Eagle NT offers bidirectional Internet security -- simultaneously prohibiting unwanted
intruders from accessing the corporate network and managing internal users' Internet access
privileges.
