Eli User Guide

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Eli Broadband Internet Security Appliance
from ELI, Inc.!

Based on the same technologies employed by corporations around the globe, Eli
delivers all of the features necessary to make the Internet a safe computing
environment for the broadband user. Eli combines a broadband modem and wireless
router with a full-featured firewall and best-of-breed anti-virus, spam and content
filtering solutions. Eli's managed approach is what makes the difference, though: all
configuration and updates to the system are maintained by the Eli team - not you!

Now, not only can you enjoy lightning-speed Internet access from all your PCs, and
share data on your internal network, you will be protected from a host of Internet
threats by the best-of-breed stealth firewall implemented on Eli, hiding you from
hackers and other malicious intruders.

And, if you are a DSL or cable modem user, you can scrap both your modem and
router – Eli replaces them both!

Features

firewall with the same technologies that large corporations use to protect your entire network.

can choose from a wide range of content categories stored on a network-based server.

DSL/Cable Modem, Wireless Gateway and 4-Port Switch

with an 802.11G wireless gateway and 4-Port switch to offer users the greatest number of
