5.1 Access Control

Use the Access Control sub-menu you to control access in and out

of your network. Use this feature as Parental Controls to only grant

access to approved sites, limit web access based on time or dates,

and/or block access from applications like P2P utilities or games.

By default, the Access Control feature is disabled. If you enable

Access Control, every device on the LAN must either have a static

IP address (that is one that is not in the DHCP range) or must be in

the Static DHCP Client List (see

Basic

→

DHCP

sub-menu.

When Access Control is disabled, every device on the WLAN is

permitted to access the Internet. However, if you enable Access

Control, every device on the WLAN that needs to access the

Internet must have an Access Control rule that explicitly permits it to

access the Internet. Devices that do not have an Access Control

Rule cannot access the Internet.

5.1.1

Access Control

The Policy Wizard guides you through the steps of defining each

access control policy. A policy is the "Who, What, When, and How"

of access control -- whose computer will be affected by the control,

what internet addresses are controlled, when will the control be in

effect, and how is the control implemented. You can define multiple

policies. The Policy Wizard starts when you click the button below

and also when you edit an existing policy.

Enable Access Control

. Click the

Enable Access Control

button

to display the

Add New Policy

wizard.

5.1.2

Add New Policy

Step 1: Choose Policy Name

. Create a name for this access

control policy that is meaningful to you. Typically this would be a

system name or user name such as

Rob’s

PC

.

r a schedule that you‟ve previously

sub-menu and create a

new schedule.

Step 3: Select Machine.

Select the machine to which this policy

applies by clicking a radio button:

IP

,

MAC

or

Other Machines

Depending on which radio button you‟ve selected, enter either the

local network IP address or MAC address of the machine that you

want the access control rule to apply to. Click

OK

.

Example: 192.168.0.50. Make sure that this is a static IP address or

the system is in the static DHCP Client list (See the

Basic

→

DHCP

sub-menu).

Step 4: Select Filtering Method.



Log Web Access Only. No filters will be applied, but web

access will be logged.



Block All Access.

All access to the web will be blocked.



Block Some Access.

With this option enabled some access

will be blocked.

If the

Apply Web Filter

box is checked the

specified system will only have access to the Web sites listed

in the

Advanced

→

Web Filter

sub-menu.
