Configuring the Wireless Barricade™ g Router

ZoneAlarm Pro Security Level

The overhead for communication between the router and Zone
Alarm Pro with Web Filtering on your PCs is very minimal. The
communication packets are small and infrequent. However,
if you do feel it is causing a delay on your network, you have
some control over the frequency the packets are sent to
and from ZoneAlarm Pro and the Wireless Barricade™.

On the ZoneAlarm Pro (ZAP) Settings Panel on the Wireless
Barricade™, the ZAP Security Level option tells the Wireless
Barricade™ and ZoneAlarm Pro how often they should
communicate. This communication tells the Wireless
Barricade™ that ZoneAlarm Pro is still running on the PC.

If you set this option to High Security (Check Frequently), the
exchange will occur at smaller intervals. Though we feel this
should not impact your network performance, you do have the
option to select Medium Security (Check Less Frequently) to
increase the interval.

Exempt LAN Clients Option

This option allows you to Enable or Disable creation a range
of IP Addresses for PCs which are non–Windows or require
exemption from this enforcement policy.

Note:

This option is set as Disabled by default. When you
select the Enabled radio button of the Exempt LAN
Client Option field, be sure to press the APPLY button.

From IP Address

Input the last three digits of the first IP Address from the
range of IP address that you would like to exempt from
this policy enforcement.

Note:

The default IP address of the Wireless Barricade™ is
192.168.2.1. The IP address that can be assigned
to a PC workstation on the network is 192.168.2.x
(where x means 2–254). See "Configuring Client TCP/IP"
on page 15
