Serial Port Configuration 4-1
M-10207-01, Reference Manual v2
Chapter 4
Serial Port Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the serial port options of your FR328S ProSafe Firewall
with Dial Back-Up. The FR328S serial port lets you share the broadband connection of another
FR328S, share resources between two LANs, and take advantage of the routing functions on the
broadband (WAN), LAN, and serial network interfaces.
Note: If you configure the serial port of the FR328S as the primary Internet connection, you will
not be able to configure the other serial port options. For instructions on configuring the serial port
as the primary Internet connection, please see “Configuring a Serial Port as the Primary Internet
Connection“ on page 3-13.
The FR328S provides these serial port configuration options:
•Modem
Use this option to configure the serial modem settings for any of the features below.
Auto-Rollover
Use this option to provide a backup connection for your broadband service. If the broadband
service you configured in the Basic Settings menu fails, the FR328S will automatically
connect to the Internet through the serial port. However, you will then be accessing the
Internet at a slower speed than you would through your broadband service.
Dial-in
Dial-in lets a single remote computer connect to the FR328S through the serial port to gain
access to LAN resources or a remote access server.
LAN-to-LAN
LAN-to-LAN enables direct communications between two FR328S firewalls to:
Share resources on the two LANs.
Let users on one FR328S share the Internet connection of the other FR328S.
Let users on one FR328S connect to the Internet through the second FR328S in case the
broadband connection of the first FR328S fails.
The procedures for these configuration options are presented below.
