Access Control
The Access Control feature allows you to restrict users from accessing specific Internet applications and services (e.g., email, FTP, Internet websites). You can also set time restrictions on users and applications so that certain users can only access certain applications during specified times.
Parameter | Description |
Enable Client Filtering | Select Yes to enable client filtering. If you select No, |
| none of the filters you enter below will be applied. |
IP | Enter the IP address that you wish to apply the rule |
| to. You can select a range of users by inputting the |
| starting user’s last digit (octet) IP address and the |
| last user’s last octet IP address in the appropriate |
| boxes. If you want to select only one user then input |
| the user’s last digit IP address in both boxes. |
| Note: You will need to give your LAN clients a |
| fixed/static IP address outside the specified pool |
| (see page 25) for this feature. |

| the port number. |
