Chapter 7
Access Control
This Chapter explains how to configure and
use the Internet Gateway's "Access Control"
feature.
Overview
The optional Access Control feature allows administrators to:
•
Restrict Internet Access by individual workstations.
•
Reserve an IP Address for a particular workstation or
network device.
If you DON'T need to reserve IP Addresses or restrict Internet
Access, you can ignore the Access Control screen.
To apply these features to a particular workstation or network
device, you need to know its Network Adapter Address (Hard-
ware Address).
Access Control Screen
The Access Control screen is accessed from the hyperlink on
the Device Settings screen. This screen allows you to:
•
Identify individual workstations or devices on the LAN, by
naming them and entering their Network Adapter Address.
•
Reserve an IP Address for the workstation or network
device, so that the DHCP Server in the Internet Gateway
always gives them the same IP Address (optional).
