Chapter 9
Access Control
This Chapter explains how to configure and use the
LevelOne Broadband Router's "Access Control" fea-
ture.
Overview
The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict Internet
Access by individual workstations. The process uses "Packet Filtering"
to block or discard data packets. By default, no packets are blocked or
discarded.
To use this feature:
•
Set the desired restrictions on the "Everyone" group. By default, all
PCs are in the "Everyone" group unless explicitly moved to an-
other group, using the Workstation screen.
•
Set the desired restrictions on the other groups ("Group 1", "Group
2", etc ) as needed.
•
For each Workstation you wish to move from the "Everyone"
group, enter their details on the Workstation screen, and assign
them to the desired group
It is also possible to define your own packet filters, and use these
filters in addition to the pre-defined filters. Defining your own filters is
optional.
You can limit Internet access for ALL PCs
without entering ANY workstation data.
Simply apply the desired restrictions to the
"Everyone" group.
