Network Tab; Admin Tab; Logging Tab; Users Tab - FARONICS DEVICE FILTER MAC Getting Started Manual

Network Tab

The Network tab configures what network settings and connections are enabled on the workstation.
Choose from the following options to designate what network settings and connections will be enabled
on a computer:
• LAN Ethernet
• Wireless
• Modem
• Bluetooth
• IR (Infra-red) Port: if this option is chosen, a restart is required for it to become enabled/
disabled
To log Network connection activity, check the Log Activity option. This log is displayed in the Logging
tab of the preference pane and the activity log file.

Admin Tab

The Admin tab is for enabling specific authorization options for storage devices.
To enable an otherwise disallowed device for one-time use only, check Enable One-Time Device
Mounting.
To enable an otherwise disallowed device for a specified amount of time, check Enable Time-limited
access.
If either the above options are configured, a dialog box will appear when a disallowed device is connected
to the workstation. The user must enter a Device Filter username and password to continue.
For timed-access, a number of minutes must be entered into the corresponding field to authorize the
device. A warning will appear to the user two minutes before the timed-access is set to expire.

Logging Tab

The Logging tab allows administrators to view the activity of the specified devices/connections and
to designate other logging options. If the Log Activity option is chosen on the FireWire, USB, and/or
Network tabs, the Logging tab displays this activity.
The logging data can be viewed either from within the tab or via a Device Filter activity log file.
To choose the name of the activity log file and the location where the file will be written (if this was not
pre-determined by using the Device Filter Assistant), click Choose, enter a file name and browse to the
preferred save location.
To combine entries which have logged the same date, action, user and device (thus making the log file
smaller), click Condense.

Users Tab

The Users tab is used to track all Device Filter users (those who are authorized to administer the
program.) A maximum of four Device Filter users are permitted.
