Signature Update Schedule
You can choose to have a different signature update schedule for modems than for other WANs. This is intended to
protect against overages when data usage limits for 3G/4G modems are restricted. For both Non-Modem WANs and
Modem WANs, first choose the Frequency for updates:
Never
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Next, choose the specific day and time. These updates cause a minor network disruption, so schedule updates for times
with less critical traffic.
Signature Settings

By default, the Operation Mode is set under the Global Settings tab. To edit this for a category or a particular
signature, select a line in the table and click Edit. Choose from the following:

Detect and Prevent – IPS mode
Detect Only – IDS mode
WiFi / Local Networks
This section is used to configure the settings for networks created by your router (LAN). Note that changes made in this
section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network.
For example, if you change a wireless LAN’s IP address, devices within that network will lose connection and will have to
reconnect to the network.
The user can set up multiple networks on the router, each with its own unique configuration and its own selection of
interfaces. Each local network can be attached to any of the following types of interfaces:
WiFi
Ethernet
VLAN
For example, one network might be just an isolated WiFi hotspot for guests, while another might be the main network
with administrative access, an Ethernet port, a password-protected WiFi SSID, and a VLAN interface.
