Network Security

The SBG1000 firewall and wireless security measures are disabled by default.

For normal operation, you do not need to change most default settings, except

for the password, firewall, and wireless security.

The default SBG1000 settings provide no security for data or

protection from Internet attacks. We recommend protecting your

network as described on this page.

As soon as your network is operational, run the SBG1000 Setup Program to:

Task In User Guide, see

Change the default password to prevent unauthorized

configuration.

“Changing the

Default Password”

Enable the firewall to protect your LAN from Internet attacks.

Choose the most secure policy possible for your applications.

“Setting the

Firewall Policy”

If you are only using wired Ethernet or USB connections (there

are no wireless clients), disable the wireless interface to

prevent unauthorized use.

“Wireless Network

Setup”

For a LAN with one or more wireless clients, enable wireless

security on the SBG1000.

“Wireless Network

Setup”

After enabling wireless security on the SBG1000, as required on each

wireless client:

§ If you disabled ESSID broadcasting on the SBG1000, set the client

Network Name (ESSID) identical to the ESSID on the SBG1000.

§ If you enabled WEP on the SBG1000, set the client WEP key identical to

the WEP key on the SBG1000.

§ If you enabled Allow Only Listed Stations Access, be sure the MAC

address for each client is correctly listed on the SBG1000.
