5450 Four-Port Router User’s Guide Configuring Advanced Features
Security
Your router provides broad security measures against unwanted users. Security also allows for the
configuration of the router firewall, administrator password, (NAT) Network Address Translation, and DMZ
(Demilitarized Zone) configuration.
To use the security option, click the Security button on the Gateway Options pane. This displays the
“Security Options” window containing icons to access the security features.
This section is organized into parts that correspond to the following buttons shown in the Gateway
Options pane.
Configure the network firewall. A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized
access to or from a private network.
Change administrative password.
Configure address translation. Address translation hides individual users/computers
behind a single outward-facing address. Hiding internal addresses allows greater
security for your network.
