Description

Rule Configuration

Allows you to add a new content rule. Enter the name

 

of the rule and click the Add Rule button to add the

 

content rule to the list. Content rules are used to

 

restrict Internet access based on IP addresses,

 

domains, and keywords found in the URLs of Internet

 

sites.

 

Note: It may be useful to set up your first rule as “No

 

Rule,” without any restrictions or settings. This setting

 

will allow you to assign “No Rule” status to users

 

who are not subject to “content-related” access

 

restrictions.

 

 

Rule Settings

Allows you to edit a content rule by using the drop-

 

down menu to recall the rule to be edited.

 

To remove a user profile, use the drop-down menu to

 

select the rule to be removed and click on the Remove

 

Rule button.

to access a URL that contains any of the keywords in

 

this list will be blocked by the gateway.

 

 

Blocked Domain List

gateway should block access to. Any attempt to access

 

any of the Domains in this list will be blocked by the

 

gateway.

gateway allows access.

 

 

Override Password

override user access restrictions to a blocked Internet

 

site.

 

 

Re-enter Password

Re-enter the same password for confirmation of the

 

override password in the previous field.
