into any one of the

Ethernet 3, or Ethernet 4) and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet port.

4 Plug the power cube into a power strip or wall outlet and then

plug the power cube’s other end into the modem’s POWER jack.

Important! Only use the power cube shipped with the X6v. Other power cubes might damage your hardware.

5 After you plug in the power cube, the POWER and WLAN

lights on the front panel of the modem should become steady on, and the DSL light should flash. If the POWER light does

not turn on, press the

button on the modem's rear panel and make sure that there is power at the wall outlet or power strip where you plugged in the power cube.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions

6 Turn on the computer. 7 Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the modem’s

DSL port and the other into the ADSL wall jack. The flashing DSL light should become steady on. If it does not, refer to

Troubleshooting on page 153.

8 If you want to use the modem's VoIP capability, plug a phone

or cordless phone base station into the X6v's PHONE connector.

To be able to switch between Internet and standard landline phone service, plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the X6v's TELCO (i.e., TELephone COmpany) connector and the other end into the wall jack where you would normally plug in a standard telephone.

We recommend that you put an ADSL filter on every phone connected to the ADSL phone line. If you received a

filter or filter/splitter from Zoom, you can use that. You can also purchase an ADSL filter from a retailer of telephone accessories. ADSL filters and filter/splitters come in a variety of styles and sizes and might not look identical to the filter/splitters shown here.

Plug the LINE or PHONE LINE connector of the filter into the wall jack that is enabled for DSL service.

Plug the X6v into the filter's MODEM connector.

Optionally, connect a phone cord between the filter's

PHONE connector and your X6v’s TELCO port.

Congratulations! You have installed the hardware. Now continue with the next section, Establishing Communication.

ADSL X6v User Guide

Establishing Communication

Important!

Macintosh and Linux users must make sure that the computer’s TCP/IP settings are configured properly BEFORE starting this section. See Macintosh TCP/IP Settings on page 147 or Linux TCP/IP Settings on page 149 for instructions.

You must set up the X6v so that it can communicate with your Internet service provider. Follow these steps:

1 Close all programs including antivirus software and pop-up

blockers.

list. These are other wireless networks that are within range of your network. Each wireless network has a channel associated with it. We recommend that there be at least a five-channel difference between your network and neighboring networks with strong signals. Having less than a five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection. By default, the

ADSL X6v User Guide

X6v uses channel 10. If you need to change this channel, do so using the Wireless Setup page of the Zoom Configuration Manager.

• If you want to secure your wireless network so it won’t

be accessible by others, you should specify security settings. To learn how, see

ADSL X6v User Guide

Setting Wireless Security

When you first set up your X6v wireless network, security is turned off by default. This means that your wireless signal is not encrypted and that anyone with compatible wireless technology can access your computer network and the Internet using your wireless connection. This chapter explains how to set up wireless security to protect your network and Internet connection.

Overview

To set up wireless security on a new wireless network, you will create and enter a unique passphrase or an alphanumeric key. Once entered, only devices with the proper key or passphrase will be allowed to establish a connection to the network.

There are two basic ways to configure and implement a passphrase or key. They are WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA™ (WiFi® Protected Access™) or WPA2™. WPA2 is the most secure, but you can use it only if all your wireless devices support the 802.11g profile.

If you are replacing an existing wireless router with the X6v, you might want to retain whatever security settings you use on your network. Enter your previously defined settings when instructed.

Setting Up Security Using WEP

WEP can be configured two ways: 64-bit and 128-bit. 128-bit WEP provides a bit more security than 64-bit, but 128-bit WEP also tends to diminish network performance. We recommend that you use WEP 64-bit security, because WEP-64 works with most 802.11 wireless equipment.

Chapter 3: Setting Wireless Security

To set WEP security, follow these steps:

1 Verify that your modem's Ethernet connection is active. 2 Open the Zoom Configuration Manager by typing the

following in your Web browser's address bar:

http://192.168.0.1

3 In the authentication dialog, type the following User Name and

Password in lower case, then click OK.

User Name: user

Password: password

You can safely ignore the warning message. It is for informational purposes only.

(The User Name and Password entered here are for the Configuration Manager only, and are not the same as the user name and password that your Internet service provider might have given you.)

4 On the X6v ADSL Setup page, click the Wireless icon

the top of the screen to open the Wireless Setup page:

ADSL X6v User Guide

5 In the SSID box, enter a NEW name for your network, such as

sarahsecure. DO NOT use zoom as the SSID.

6 Normally you should not change the Hide SSID and Default

Channel settings.

7 Go to Encryption and select WEP-64 bit from the drop-

down menu. Several new boxes open directly below the Encryption box:

8 If you are replacing an existing wireless router with the X6v,

you might want to retain whatever security settings you use on your network. Enter the SSID, encryption type, and the security key or passphrase that you previously defined for your network. You must enter a dash (–) between each pair of characters in a security key.

9 If you are setting up a new wireless network, select the check

box marked Passphrase and then enter a word or phrase in the Passphrase text box. For best security, enter a combination

Chapter 3: Setting Wireless Security

of numbers and letters. The Passphrase should be at least eight characters. Click Save Changes, then Write Settings to Flash.

When the Wireless Setup page refreshes, note that your passphrase is no longer displayed and that security keys 1-4 have been automatically generated.

10 Leave the Default Key as 1, and write down the 10 digits of

Key 1. Put this security key where you can find it — on the

bottom of the X6v case, for instance.

11 Now you need to set up each of your wireless devices with the

SSID and security key, as follows:

a First, make sure that the network device on which you are

setting security has its wireless capability turned on. (Many notebooks have a hardware switch for wireless.)

b Next, go to the network device’s area for configuring a

wireless network connection.

c For a Windows computer, click the Wireless Networking

icon at the lower right corner of the screen.

d Select the Site Survey or Scan option to see a list of the

access points in your area. That list should include the SSID that you just set up on the X6v.

e Select that SSID and enter the WEP-64 Key 1 that you just

wrote down in step 10. Omit the hyphens when entering the key.

f Save your settings. g Repeat substeps a through f for all wireless devices on

your network.

That’s it! Your security setup is now complete!

In the unlikely event that you experience performance issues with your wireless network, you might want to set up your network on a channel that’s different from the factory-set channel of 10. To do that, follow these steps:

1 Open the Zoom Configuration Manager by typing

http://192.168.0.1 in your Web browser's address bar:

2 In the authentication dialog, type your User Name and your

new Password (or, if you haven't yet changed your password,

ADSL X6v User Guide

type user for User Name and password for Password, each in lower-case letters). Click OK.

3 On the ADSL Setup page, click the Wireless icon at the

top of the screen to open the Wireless Setup page.

4 On the Wireless Setup page, enter a new channel. If possible,

this channel should be 5 channels away from other strong channels in use in your area. The default channel is 10.

5 Be sure to click Save, then Write Settings to Flash after you

change the channel. All devices connecting wirelessly to the X6v will automatically switch to the new channel.

Your basic security setup is complete. Please see the following sections to configure 802.1x Authentication, a Wireless Distribution System, and Wireless MAC Filtering.

Setting Up Security Using WPA2 or WPA

WPA2 and WPA use a passphrase that you choose and enter on the X6v and other wireless devices on the network to set up security. To use WPA2 or WPA, all of the wireless devices on your network must support that encryption method.

1 Check to make sure that all other clients that you plan to put on

the network support WPA2 or WPA. If they do not, return to Setting Up Security Using WEP on page 29 and follow the instructions.

2 Click the Wireless icon

Manager to open the Wireless Setup page. Go to Encryption

and select WPA2 or WPA from the drop-down menu. A new field labeled WPA Passphrase will open directly below the Encryption box.

5 If you are setting up a new wireless network, choose and enter

a Passphrase. You can enter a word or phrase, or for greater security you can enter a combination of numbers and letters. The passphrase that you enter is case-sensitive.

6 Every wireless network client needs to be set individually by

entering the Passphrase on all wireless devices on the network. Open the software that came with the device, which should be running on the computer where the device is installed.

Setting Up VoIP Service

This chapter covers the setup of the X6v for Internet telephone service, using the X6v’s built-in VoIP capabilities.

To complete the installation, you need the following:

• An account set up with a VoIP service provider. If your X6v

did not come with an account set up, go to your service provider’s Web site and sign up for service if you have not already done so.

• A telephone so you can place and receive phone calls.

Using the Zoom Configuration Manager to Set Up VoIP Service

You may want to connect the X6v to your landline. If you connect the X6v’s TELCO (i.e., Telephone Company) port to a landline telephone service, you can choose to make some calls through your landline and other calls over the Internet. If the landline is also set for DSL service, be sure to connect an ADSL filter between the telephone line and the X6v’s TELCO jack. Then follow these steps:

1 To log into the Zoom Configuration Manager, follow these

steps:

a Open your Web browser and, in its address bar, type

http://192.168.0.1, then press the Enter key on your keyboard.

ADSL X6v User Guide

Bridging from VoIP to PSTN

The VoIP bridge modes let you use the X6v as a mini telephone switch. You are probably familiar with telephone switches at companies, government offices and the like. When you call a main number, the telephone switch (or switchboard) answers, and you can typically dial any extension you want inside the office.

When you make a VoIP call to the X6v in VoIP to PSTN bridge mode, you are connected to the landline that is plugged into the X6v. This is like being connected to a switchboard when you call a company or government office. Unlike the case of a company or government office switchboard, however, you are not limited to dialing extensions within the office. You can dial any call that the PSTN line supports.

This can be useful and convenient if people you know or work with have a way to make free or low cost VoIP calls to your X6v. If they can do this, then they can make PSTN calls from your X6v. Often this will save considerable amounts of money relative to making the call directly.

• Suppose you are in Los Angeles, and you have a friend in

Hong Kong who needs to make frequent calls to local numbers in L.A. Your friend can make free or very low cost VoIP calls to your X6v. Once she has connected to your X6v, she can make local PSTN calls from your X6v to anywhere in L.A.

• Suppose your company has offices in L.A. and in

Frankfurt. You can sign up for a VoIP number that is local to Frankfurt. Now when colleagues in Frankfurt want to call local numbers in L.A., they can do so for the price of a local call in Frankfurt: they can call the local Frankfurt number that is assigned to your X6v, and when they connect to your X6v in bridge mode, they can dial local PSTN calls to anywhere in L.A.

• Some cell or mobile phone plans offer free or reduced rate

calling to particular numbers. If you designate your X6v’s VoIP number under such a plan, then you can make calls under that plan from your cell phone to your X6v. Once you connect to the X6v, you can make a bridge call to

Chapter 4: Setting Up VoIP Service

anywhere in L.A. You can do this when you travel anywhere within the area covered by your cell phone plan.

• You can enable single-step dialing, which allows people to

dial just the destination number when they make a VoIP to PSTN bridge call. (Enable this feature only if your VoIP service provider tells you to do so.)

There are many more permutations that this feature lets you take advantage of. (For example, see

Bridging from PSTN to VoIP for a

description of how to set up pairs of devices in bridge mode in two different locations to facilitate low cost calling between those locations using standard local phones, including cell/mobile phones).

There are several options you can set when you configure a VoIP to PSTN bridge. You can control which callers can access bridge mode:

• You can allow all callers to access bridge mode.

• You can restrict access only to callers with Caller ID.

• You can restrict access only to particular callers based on

their Caller ID.

• For whichever callers you allow, you can require that they

enter a security code.

If you activate a security code, callers who enter an incorrect code will ring through to the phone that is connected to the X6v. This is convenient for someone who is traveling, and who may some of the time want to use the bridge feature to make local calls, but who other times may want to reach someone in their home or office.

To enable single-stage dialing to a VoIP to PSTN bridge:

If your service provider supports single-stage dialing, when the remote caller dials a PSTN number, the VoIP service will direct that call to your X6v. Your X6v will answer the call. The service provider will include in a message to your X6v the PSTN number that the remote caller originally dialed. Your X6v will bridge the call by dialing that PSTN number out its TELCO port.

Follow these steps:

1 At Bridge from VoIP to PSTN, select Enable. 2 At Auto-Answer VoIP Bridge Calls, select Enable. 3 At VoIP Bridge Accept Any Call, select Enable. 4 At VoIP Bridge Single Stage Dialing, select Enable. 5 Click Save These Settings.

Chapter 4: Setting Up VoIP Service

Bridging from PSTN to VoIP

When you make a PSTN (TELCO) call to the X6v in PSTN to VoIP bridge mode, you are connected to the VoIP service that is connected to the X6v. This is like being connected to a switchboard when you call a company or government office. Unlike the case of a company or government office switchboard, however, you are not limited to dialing extensions. You can dial any call that your VoIP service supports.

This can offer a useful and convenient way to make free or low cost VoIP calls from your X6v even if you are out of your home or office. For example, you can make a local PSTN call to your X6v from your cell or mobile phone, and bridge the call to a low-cost long distance or international call via VoIP. Often this will save considerable amounts of money compared to making the call directly.

• Suppose you live in London, and you have friends and

family in Calcutta. You don’t have to be at home in order to call them. You can call your X6v's PSTN phone number from any standard phone including your cell phone, and make a low-cost VoIP call to Calcutta.

• Suppose your company has offices in Dubai and in Buenos

Aires. You can set the X6v so that when customers call the Dubai office after hours, the X6v automatically bridges the call to Buenos Aires, and staff can answer the call in that office.

• Again, if your company has offices in Dubai and Buenos

Aires, you can set up an X6v in bridge mode in each location. Staff off site in Buenos Aires can call into the PSTN number of the X6v in the Buenos Aires office and make a VoIP bridge call to the VoIP number of the X6v in Dubai. Once connected to the X6v in Dubai, they can bridge to the PSTN connection in Dubai, and contact customers and vendors outside the office in Dubai, all for the cost of a local call in Buenos Aires. You can set up a double bridge in each direction. In this way, calls can also be made in the opposite direction, from Dubai to Buenos Aires.

ADSL X6v User Guide

There are several options you can set when you configure a PSTN to VoIP bridge.

• You can control which callers can access bridge mode.

The X6v and Online

Gaming

This chapter covers the setup of the X6v for online gaming with a desktop, notebook, Xbox® or Xbox 360, or PlayStation® 2 or 3.

Do I Need to Do Anything?

There are three cases where you need to set up your modem in order to play online games:

• If you are using your computer to play a peer-to-peer or

head-to-head game over the Internet, you always have to set up the modem unless you linked up to your partner by going to a Web site. A peer-to-peer game is a game where two players are competing directly against one another. Popular peer-to-peer games include World in Conflict

Madden NFL 08, Counterstrike Mythology®, and Unreal Tournament 2004®. If you

are unsure whether your game is a peer-to-peer game, check the game instructions.

• If you are using your computer to play a multi-player game. Popular multi-player games include StarCraft®,

Everquest® I and II, Diablo II®, Hexen II, the Myth

™, Age of

™,

ADSL X6v User Guide

series, Quake II, Half-Life and Half-Life II, Warcraft® II and III, World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings.

• If you are playing an online game using Xbox or Xbox 360 Live or PlayStation 2 or 3.

In all three cases you will need to follow the steps described in the next section,

Setting Up the X6v for Online Gaming.

Setting Up the X6v for Online Gaming

Setting up the X6v for online gaming involves two basic steps:

Choosing an IP Address for Gaming and Setting Up a Virtual Server or DMZ. This section provides instructions for doing these

tasks on your computer, Xbox, or PlayStation.

Step 1: Choosing an IP Address for Gaming

You need to make sure that the computer or gaming system you use for playing games always has the same IP address. By default, the X6v assigns addresses dynamically (using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP) to the devices on the local area network whenever they reboot. These addresses won’t necessarily always be the same. Therefore, you need to assign a Static (unchanging) IP address to every computer or gaming system in the network.

• If you are using a computer for gaming, continue below.

• If you are using an Xbox or Xbox 360, go to page

• If you are using a PlayStation 2 or 3, go to page

If you are using a computer to play an online game:

1 If you know the name of your computer or if you have only

one computer connected, you can find the MAC address under

DHCP Clients at the bottom of the Create New DHCP Server Fixed Host page. You can also find the MAC address

Chapter 5: The X6v and Online Gaming

on the System Status page. Click the System Status icon and scroll down until you see DHCP Client Status.

If you do not know the name of your computer or you have more than one computer connected, follow these steps to find the MAC address:

On the computer you want to use for gaming, click the

Start button (Windows Vista users: you must also click All Programs, then Accessories) and select Run.

In the Run dialog box, type command and click OK to

open the Command or MS-DOS window

In the Command Prompt or MS-DOS window (after

C:\> or C:\WINDOWS>), type ipconfig, leave a space, then type /all

It should look like this: ipconfig /all

Press Enter. The MAC address is displayed as the 12-digit

Physical Address or Internet Adapter address. Write this address down and keep it handy.

2 Now that you have determined the MAC address, you can

assign your computer a Static IP address.

a In the Zoom Configuration Manager, click the Router

Setup button.

b On the Router Setup page, click the LAN Configuration

button.

83 for instructions on setting up a DMZ on

Step 2: Setting Up a Virtual Server or DMZ

You set up either a virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) so that the modem’s firewall won’t block the other players from your system during your gaming. The main difference between the virtual server and the DMZ is the amount of access someone has to your system.

A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports. A port is like a channel that is used by applications (such as games) to communicate on. For example, the directions for the game you want to play over the Internet might tell you to open up port 6000.

A DMZ differs from a virtual server in that it allows access on all ports to the computer. Because of this, DMZ's are less secure than virtual servers and should be used with caution on your computer. For Xbox Live and PlayStation 2, a DMZ is OK since security is not as much of an issue as it is for your computer.

Chapter 6: Using Router Setup

This button… Opens a page that lets you…

Virtual Server/DMZ

Open access to your computer by creating a virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). By default, your modem uses NAT (Network Address Translation) to hide your networked computers from users on the Internet. However, there are times when you may want to give outside access to the computers in your network. If so, you can set up a virtual server or DMZ to allow outside users access to a computer on your network. You may want to allow access, for example, if a LAN computer is hosting Internet games or running a Web server.

PPP Half Bridge

Share the public IP address assigned by your ISP with a single PC on the LAN. This avoids problems caused by certain applications having to work through NAT (such as online games or FTP servers) and avoids the need to run a PPP software stack on the PC.

UPnP

(Universal Plug and Play)

Connect automatically with other UPnPenabled software and hardware. The Internet Gateway Device (IGD) protocol makes it possible for applications running on the network to automatically configure NAT routing.

Per Port PVC Assign an Ethernet port to a Permanent

Virtual Circuit (PVC). This feature is

commonly used for delivering video.

Port Settings Conveniently change the default port

settings. You will need to use this feature if the X6v is hosting a web or Telnet server.

Protocol (Internet

Connection type)

Your Internet Service Provider supplies this value.

If your service provider instructs you to use 1483 Bridged mode, select 1483 Bridged + NAT to take advantage of your modem’s advanced routing and firewall features.

Encapsulation The encapsulation value should match

your ADSL provider’s encapsulation. The value refers to the way that data is passed over the Internet. An example value is LLC (Logical Link Control). Your ADSL provider supplies this value when you sign up for ADSL service.

VPI Virtual Path Identifier ranges from 0 –

256. Your ADSL provider supplies the VPI when you sign up for ADSL.

VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier ranges from 0

– 65536. Your ADSL provider supplies the VCI when you sign up for ADSL service.

Username Your ADSL provider supplies this

username when you sign up for ADSL service. (It is not the same as the username and password for the Zoom

Configuration Manager.)

Password Your ADSL provider supplies this

password when you sign up for ADSL.

Setting Description

Service Name This is an optional value that your

service provider may ask you to enter.

Disconnect timeout

The amount of time before the PPP connection drops if there is no activity. A value of 0 means stay connected even if your network stays idle.

Authentication The type of authentication protocol

used during the negotiation of the PPP connection. This protocol may be specified by your ISP. One option, CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), encrypts your user name and password during the negotiation. Password Authentication

Protocol does not.

NAT Network Address Translation. By

default, this setting is Enabled. NAT keeps a table of individual private IP addresses in your network and refers to the table when incoming requests are made. If no matches are found, the incoming data cannot come into your network. An Enabled setting keeps your IP addresses hidden from outside users. Disabled is some times used if you want to use Public IP addresses.

If you are using a Static IP address, enter the values for IP Address,

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server that your service provider

gave you. You must also be using the 1483 protocol.

Specifies the type of Ethernet filtering that is performed by the bridge interface. All-Allows all types of Ethernet packets through the port. Ip- Allows only IP/ARP types of Ethernet packets through the port. PPPoE- Allows only PPPoE types of Ethernet packets through the port.

These settings allow you to give priority to data that is sent over the network.

Important! You must make arrangements with your ADSL provider to use anything except UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) in the Traffic Class setting. Your service provider will also supply you with the Cell, Burst, and Tolerance Rates.

Chapter 6: Using Router Setup

Setting Description

RIP RIP is an Internet protocol that you can

set up to share routing table information with:

¾ LAN devices that support RIP ¾ Remote networks connected via

the ADSL line

¾ Your ISP’s location

Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP since they have only one router and one path to an ISP. In these cases there is no need to share routes because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.

You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network:

¾ Your home network setup

includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC or device. These routers will need to communicate via RIP to share their routing table information.

¾ Your network connects via the

ADSL line to a remote network, such as a corporate network. In order for your modem to learn the routes used within your corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP.

¾ Your ISP requests that you run

RIP for communication with devices on their network

Accept V1 Accept Version 1 of the RIP protocol.

Accept V2 Accept Version 2 of the RIP protocol.

Using the Ethernet Configuration Settings

Do I need to change my Ethernet settings?

The Ethernet Configuration page contains information about the Ethernet ports on your ADSL modem. Typically you should not need to change these settings. However, if you are having problems establishing your Ethernet connection, you may need to change the Speed/Duplex value to match that of the Ethernet NIC in your computer. Here is a picture of the Ethernet Configuration page:

The following table describes the Ethernet Configuration settings. If you change any of the settings, click Save Changes, and then Write Settings to Flash.

Chapter 6: Using Router Setup

Setting Description

Port The Ethernet Ports 1-4 on the back of

your modem.

Configuration Shows how your Ethernet ports are set

up.

Linked A check mark indicates that the

Ethernet port is connected.

Speed/Duplex If you are having problems establishing

your Ethernet connection, try setting the Speed/Duplex value to match that of the Ethernet NIC in your computer.

Setting Up a Static Routing Table

Do I need static routing?

Most users do not need to set up static routes. The default route used in your modem will forward all packets correctly. However, if you set up your network with different subnets, you can use static routing to ensure your packets are handled correctly.

You can manually create a static route to tell the modem how to reach a specific IP network. The route entry specifies a destination network (or single host), together with a mask to indicate what range of addresses the network covers, and a next-hop gateway address or interface. If there is a choice of routes for a destination, the route with the most specific mask is chosen.

To route to a destination that is not on any local network, a route may be added via a gateway, for instance another router. The gateway IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the router's interfaces.

ADSL X6v User Guide

Here is a picture of the Static Routes page:

The following table describes Routing Table settings. If you change any of the settings, click Add, and then Write Settings to Flash.

Setting Description

Existing Routes This table shows the existing Static

routes set up on your ADSL Modem.

Destination Enter the Subnet IP address of the

destination.

Gateway Enter the Gateway IP address of your

destination’s subnet. The HOP gateway must be on the same subnet as the modem.

Mask Enter the subnet mask (range of IP

addresses) of the destination IP addresses based on the above subnet IP address of the destination.

Metric The number of hops. This should

usually be left at 1.

Advertise Enable this if you want to advertise this

route.

Adding Extra Security with Advanced Firewall Filtering

Do I need extra security?

Setting up advanced firewall security provides an additional layer of security. For example, if you create a DMZ interface for gaming using the Virtual Server/DMZ page, you can enable the firewall filtering and add a security policy that blocks IP addresses, ports, aliases, and certain protocols from reaching the DMZ machine.

When you use the Advanced Firewall Filtering feature, you will move through multiple screens. Follow the steps below to set up this feature.

1 Open the Advanced Firewall Filter page by clicking

Advanced Firewall Filter on the Router Setup page.

Important! Do not enable Advanced Firewall Filtering on the Advanced Firewall Filter page until you create your security

policy. Otherwise, if you enable Advanced Firewall Filtering before you create your policy, you will block all outgoing and incoming traffic.
