NETWORK OBJECTS
Network objects define a group, such as a group of computers, on your
Gateway network by MAC address, IP address, and /or host name.
The defined group becomes a network object. You can apply settings,
such as configuring system rules, to all devices defined in the network
object.
For example, instead of setting the same website filtering
configuration individually to five computers one at a time, you can
define the computers as a network object. Website filtering can then
be simultaneously applied to all the computers.
You can use network objects to apply security rules based on host
names, instead of IP addresses. This is useful since IP addresses
change from time to time. In addition, you can define network objects
according to MAC address to make the rule application more persistent
against network configuration settings.
To define a network object:
1.
Select
Network Objects
in the Advanced page.

UNIVERSAL PLUG AND PLAY
You can use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to support new devices
without configuring or rebooting your Gateway.
In addition, you can enable the automatic cleanup of invalid rules. When
enabled, this functionality verifies the validity of all UPnP services and
rules every five minutes. Old and unused UPnP defined services are
removed, unless a user-defined rule depends on it.

UPnP services are not deleted when disconnecting a computer without
proper shutdown of the UPnP applications, such as messenger.
Services may often not be deleted and eventually this leads to the
exhaustion of rules and services, and no new services can be define.
The cleanup feature locates the invalid services and removes them,
preventing services exhaustion.
To access this setting:
1.
Select
Universal Plug and Play
in the Advanced page.
2.
To enable UPnP and allow UPnP services to be defined on any
network hosts, select the
UPnP Enabled
check box.
3.
To enable automatic cleanup of invalid rules, select
Enable
Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UPnP Services
check box.
