Netmask:

One bits in the mask specify which bits of the IP address must match.

42

Gateway:

connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.

Interface:

Specifies the interface -- LAN or WAN -- that the IP packet must use to

transit out of the router, when this route is used.

Metric:

The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this

route. A value of 1 is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16

indicates that the route is not reachable from this router. When trying to reach a

particular destination, computers on your network will select the best route, ignoring

unreachable routes.

Advanced_Access Control

The Access Control section allows you to control access in and out of devices on 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 such as

peer-to-peer utilities or games.

Enable

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

this option.

When Access Control is disabled, every device on the LAN has

unrestricted access to the Internet. However, if you enable Access Control,

Internet access is restricted for those devices that have an Access Control

Policy configured for them. All other devices have unrestricted access to

the Internet.

Policy Wizard

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,

44

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.

Add Policy

Click this button to start creating a new access control policy.
