Set up the Firewall
See "What is a
Firewall?" on
page 9.
The AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite includes a Firewall, which
helps protect your network from hackers trying to gain access. By default,
the Firewall is enabled when you install the ISS server software.
If you already have BlackICE Defender* by NetworkICE installed on your
system, you may want to choose between AnyPoint or BlackICE Firewalls.
For details, review the following table.
Important: If you use a third-party Firewall product other than
BlackICE Defender (such as Norton Internet Security* or McAfee),
reinstall the ISS portion of the AnyPoint software after installing the
firewall software. Use the instructions in
"Install the AnyPoint
software" on page 11
(be sure to install as an ISS server). You may
need to make additional configuration changes to use the other
manufacturer’s Internet security software (see manufacturer’s
manual) with your AnyPoint Wireless II Network.

installed
