Access to your Gateway may be controlled through two optional user accounts,
Admin
and
User
. When you first power up your Gateway, you create a password for the
Admin
account. The User account does not exist by default. As the Admin, a password for the
User account can be entered or existing passwords changed.
Create and Change Passwords.
You can establish different levels of access
security to protect your Netopia Gateway settings from unauthorized display or modifica-
tion.
•
Admin
level privileges let you display and modify
all
settings in the Netopia Gateway
(Read/Write mode). The Admin level password is created when you first access your
Gateway.
•
User
level privileges let you display (but
not
change) settings of the Netopia Gateway.
(Read Only mode)
To prevent anyone from observing the password you enter, characters in the old and new
password fields are not displayed as you type them.

Use a Netopia Firewall
BreakWater Basic Firewall.
BreakWater delivers an easily selectable set of pre-
configured firewall protection levels. For simple implementation these settings (comprised
of three levels) are readily available through Netopia’s embedded web server interface.
BreakWater Basic Firewall’s three settings are:
•
ClearSailing
ClearSailing, BreakWater's default setting, supports both inbound and outbound traffic.
It is the only basic firewall setting that fully interoperates with all other Netopia software
features.
•
SilentRunning
Using this level of firewall protection allows transmission of outbound traffic on pre-con-
figured TCP/UDP ports. It disables any attempt for inbound traffic to identify the Gate-
way. This is the Internet equivalent of having an
unlisted number
.
•
LANdLocked
The third option available turns off all inbound and outbound traffic, isolating the LAN
and disabling all WAN traffic.
☛
NOTE:
BreakWater Basic Firewall operates independent of the NAT functionality on
the Gateway.
Configuring for a BreakWater Setting
Use these steps to establish a firewall setting:
1.
Ensure that you have enabled the BreakWater basic firewall with the
appropriate feature key.
