Internet Access Policy

Access to the Internet can be managed by policies. A policy consists of four components. You need to define the PCs (MAC or IP address) to apply this policy, either Deny or Allow Internet service, what time and date to enable this policy, and what URLs or Keywords to apply this policy.

Use the settings on this screen to establish an access policy. Selecting a policy from the drop-down menu will display that policy's settings. You can then perform the following operations:

Create a Policy - see instructions below.

Delete the current policy - click the Delete button.

View all policies - click the Summary button. On the Summary screen, the policies are listed with the following information: No., Policy Name, Days, Time, and a checkbox to delete (clear) the policy. To delete a policy, check the checkbox in the Delete column, and click the Delete button

View or change the PCs covered by the current policy - click the Edit List of PCs button.

On the List of PCs screen, you can define PCs by MAC Address or IP Address. You can also enter a range of IP Addresses if you want this policy to affect a group of PCs.
