Client Filtering
You can use client filtering to control the Internet access of each client on your network. This feature is particularly
useful when you want to prevent your children from playing specific Internet games, or you want to restrict the time
that people connected to your network spend surfing the Web.
To configure client filtering, you must have the following information:
O
The ports and protocols for the type of application data to which you want to control access.
O
The IP address assigned to the client computer.
For optimal performance of client filtering, it is recommended that you assign static IP addresses to each of the
client devices whose access to the Internet you want to control. For information about assigning static IP addresses
to a computer, see the Broadband Network Utility Help.
If you choose not to assign a static IP address, you can determine the IP address assigned to the client computer by
checking the DHCP client list on the Home page of the Base Station Management Tool.
