Overview
Security Groups
Workstations
Administrator Defined Filters
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. You can apply the pre-defined filters, and optionally define your own filters.
By default, filtering is disabled; no packets are blocked or discarded.
To use the Access Control feature:
1.
Set the desired restrictions on the "Everyone" group, by selecting this group and clicking "Setup". By default, all PCs are in the "Everyone" group unless
explicitly moved to another group.
2.
Set the desired restrictions on the other groups ("Group 1", "Group 2", etc) as needed.
3.
For each Workstation you wish to move from the "Everyone" group, enter their data and assign them to the desired group.
Security Groups
To Set or Change restrictions for a Security Group:
1.
Select the group from the drop-down list. Note that the Security groups are pre-named "Everyone", "Group 1", "Group 2", "Group 3", and "Group 4".
These names cannot be changed.
2.
Click the Get Data button to view the selected group's data. Use Clear Form for deleting alla data.
To Assign Workstations to a Security Group
All Workstations are automatically in the "Everyone" group. Use the Workstations screen to move them to an-other group if required.
Access Control
You can limit Internet access for ALL PCs without entering ANY workstation
data. Simply apply the desired restrictions to the "Everyone" group.
