3. From the ‘Address’ drop-down menu, select an IP address or a computer name from the list
in order to apply the rule on the corresponding LAN computer, or ‘Any’ to apply the rule on
all LAN computers. If you wish to add a new LAN address or a range of addresses, select
the ‘User Defined’ option in the drop-down menu. This will commence a sequence that will
add a new Network Object, representing the new host. Refer to Section 6.9.2 in order to
learn how to do so.
4. From the ‘Protocol’ drop-down menu, select the type of protocol used by the service. Note
that selecting the ‘Show All Services’ option expands the list of available protocols. Select a
protocol or add a new one using the ‘User Defined’ option. This will commence a sequence
that will add a new Service, representing the protocol. Refer to Section 6.9.2 in order to
learn how to do so.
5. If you selected the HTTP or HTTPS protocol (to deny access to the Internet), you may also
wish to enable the feature ‘Reply an HTML page to the blocked client’. When its check box
is selected, the following message will be displayed in the browser of the blocked LAN
computer, when the user attempts to surf the Internet: “Access Denied – this computer is
not allowed to surf the Internet. Please contact your admin.”. When this check box is
deselected, the computer’s Internet connection requests are simply ignored and no
notification is issued.
6. By default, the rule will always be active. However, you can define time segments during
which the rule may be active, by selecting ‘User Defined’ from the ‘Schedule’ drop-down
menu. If more than one scheduler rule is defined, the ‘Schedule’ drop-down menu will allow
you to choose between the available rules. To learn how to configure scheduler rules,
refer to Section 6.9.3.
7. Click ‘OK’ to save your changes. The ‘Access Control’ screen displays a summary of the
rule that you have just added.
