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.
