Security > Firewall rules
Firewall Rules, incoming
The Firewall Rules (Incoming) are used to define how to handle IP packets that are
received from external networks (e.g. the Internet) via EGPRS or GPRS. The
source is the sender of this IP packet. The destination is the local applications on
the SINAUT MD741-1.
In the factory settings, no incoming firewall rule is set initially, i.e. no IP packets can
go through.
New
Adds an additional firewall rule that you can then fill out.
Delete
Removes firewall rules that have been created.
