42 ADSL X3 User’s Guide

Using IP Filters

Use the IP Filter Configuration page to set up IP filters to allow

or block traffic coming into your computer from the Internet. To

open this page, click the IP Filtering button in the Configuration

section of the Advanced Setup page.

To filter Internet traffic, you must define one or more rules (that is,

criteria you want the information to meet before it can proceed).

As information comes in from the Internet, the X3 examines it

and—if it meets the rule—moves forward to its destination on

your computer or network. If it does not, it is discarded.

The rule can be based on many characteristics, including the

network or Internet protocol it carries, IP address of the sending

computer, the port that the traffic is coming in on, and so forth.

Once you have set up the IP filters you want, click the Save

Changes button, and then click the Write Settings to Flash

button.

For more information about setting up IP filters, click the Help

icon at the top of the screen while you are on the IP Filter

Configuration page. This opens the online help and displays a

topic containing detailed information about this process.
