APPENDICES SECTION APPENDIX H
450 8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, PROXYBLOCKER USER GUIDE
master IP group - An IP group set up in the tree menu in
the Group section of the console, comprised of sub-groups
and/or individual IP filtering profiles.
master list - A list of additional URLs that is uploaded to a
custom category’s URLs window.
minimum filtering level - A set of library categories and
service ports defined at the global level to be blocked or
opened. If the minimum filtering level is established, it is
applied in conjunction with a user’s filtering profile. If a user
does not belong to a group, or the user’s group does not
have a filtering profile, the default (global) filtering profile is
used, and the minimum filtering level does not apply to that
user.
name resolution - A process that occurs when the Proxy-
Blocker attempts to resolve the IP address of the authenti-
cation server with the machine name of that server. This
continuous and regulated automated procedure ensures the
connection between the two servers is maintained.
net use - A command that is used for connecting a
computer to—or disconnecting a computer from—a shared
resource, or displaying information about computer connec-
tions. The command also controls persistent net connec-
tions.
NetBIOS - Network Basic Input Output System is an appli-
cation programming interface (API) that augments the DOS
BIOS by adding special functions to local-area networks
(LANs). Almost all LANs for PCs are based on the NetBIOS.
NetBIOS relies on a message format called Server
Message Block (SMB).
Network Address Translation (NAT) - Allows a single real
IP address to be used by multiple PCs or servers. This is
accomplished via a creative translation of inside “fake” IP
addresses into outside real IP addresses.
