Description
Access to your Gateway is controlled through two 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 Cay-
man Gateway settings from unauthorized display or modification.
Admin
level privileges let you display and modify
all
settings in the
Cayman Gateway (Read/Write mode). The Admin level password is cre-
ated when you first access your Gateway.
User
level privileges let you display (but
not
change) settings of the
Cayman 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.
To display the Passwords window, click the
Security
toolbar button on the
Home page.

Use a Cayman Firewall
BreakWater Basic Firewall
BreakWater delivers an easily selectable set of pre-configured firewall pro-
tection levels. For simple implementation these settings (comprised of
three levels) are readily available through Cayman’s embedded web
server interface.
BreakWater Basic Firewall’s three settings are:
ClearSailing
ClearSailing, BreakWater's default setting, supports both inbound and out-
bound traffic. It is the only basic firewall setting that fully interoperates
with all other Cayman software features.
SilentRunning
Using this level of firewall protection allows transmission of outbound traf-
fic on pre-configured TCP/UDP ports. It disables any attempt for inbound
traffic to identify the Gateway. This is the Internet equivalent of having an
unlisted number
.
LANdLocked
The third option available turns off all inbound and outbound traffic, isolat-
ing the LAN and disabling all WAN traffic.
Configuring for a BreakWater Setting
Use these steps to establish a firewall setting:
Step 1
Ensue that you have enabled the BreakWater basic firewall with the
appropriate feature key.
See
“Use Cayman Software Feature Keys” on page 93
for reference.
Step 2
Click the
Security
toolbar button.
Step 3
