Introduction

This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR FR328S ProSafe Firewall with Dial

Back-Up.

The FR328S is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and intrusions.

Unlike simple Internet sharing routers that rely on Network Address Translation (NAT) for

security, the FR328S uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection

and intrusion detection. The 8-port FR328S with auto fail-over connectivity through the serial port

provides highly reliable Internet access for up to 253 users.

Key Features

The FR328S offers the following key features.

• Full routing capabilities on both the broadband and serial ports, enabling Internet access via

either the serial or broadband ports.

• A powerful true firewall with comprehensive content filtering options.

• Extensive protocol support.

• Configurable Auto Uplink

™ Ethernet Connections.

• Easy installation and management.

These features are discussed below.

Full Routing on Both the Broadband and Serial Ports

You can install, configure, and operate the FR328S to take full advantage of a variety of routing

options on both the serial and broadband WAN ports, including:

• Internet access via either the serial or broadband port.

• Auto fail-over connectivity through an analog or ISDN modem connected to the serial port

If the broadband Internet connection fails, after a waiting for an amount of time you specify,

the FR328S can automatically establish a backup ISDN or dial-up Internet connection via the

serial port on the firewall.
