Keyword application examples:
•
If the keyword “XXX” is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked.
•
If the keyword “.com” is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or
.gov) can be viewed.
•
If you wish to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword
“.” and set the schedule in the Schedule menu.

network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. The Block Services menu is shown

Content Filtering
v3.0, 2006-03
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game
hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for
service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port
number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For
example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
To enable service blocking:
1.
Select either Per Schedule or Always
2.
Click
Apply
.
3.
If you want to block by schedule, be sure to specify a time period in the Schedule menu, as
described in
“Scheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced” on page 2-6
.
To specify a service for blocking:
1.
Click
Add
. The Add Services menu will appear, as shown below:

additional services or applications that do not already appear, select User Defined.
