Firewall Remote Log Page

This page allows you to send firewall attack reports out to a standard SysLog server so

many instances can be logged over a long period of time. You can select individual attack

or configuration items to send to the SysLog server so that only the items of interest will

be monitored. You can log permitted connections, blocked connections, known Internet

attack types, and CMRG configuration events. The SysLog server must be on the same

network as the Private LAN behind the Configuration Manager (typically 192.168.0.x). To

activate the SysLog monitoring feature, check all desired event types to monitor and

enter the last byte of the IP address of the SysLog server. Normally, the IP address of

this SysLog server would be hard-coded so that the address does not change and always

agrees with the entry on this page.

Parental Control Pages

The SBG901 Parental Control Pages allow you to configure access restrictions to a

specific device connected to the SBG901 LAN.

You can click any Parental Control submenu option to view or change the

configuration information for that option.

Parental Control User Setup Page

This page is the master page. Each user is linked to a specified time access rule, content

filtering rule, and login password to get to the filtered content. You may also specify a

user as a “trusted user,” which means that person will have access to all Internet

content regardless of the filters that you define. You can use the Trusted User checkbox

as a simple override to grant a user full access, while storing all of the filtering settings

for easy availability.

You can also enable Internet session duration timers, which set a limited amount of time

for Internet access from the rules you select. The user must enter their password only

the first time to access the Internet. It is not necessary to enter the password each time

a new web page is accessed. In addition, there is a password inactivity timer. If there is

no Internet access for the specified time in minutes, the user must login again. These

timed logins ensure that a specific user uses the Internet gateway appropriately.
