Help - User Groups

Help Index


Overview

User Groups are used by the Access Control feature and the Site Filter.

  • Access Control allows administrators to restrict Internet Access by individual PCs. These restrictions apply only to traffic on the WAN port; local (LAN) traffic is not affected.
  • Site Filter allow administrators to control access to web sites.

Groups are pre-named "Default", "Group 1", "Group 2", "Group 3" and "Group 4", and cannot be renamed.

  • All PCs are in the "Default" group, unless moved to another group.
  • A PC can be a member of 1 group only.
  • PCs must be in the "PC Database". If required, you can manually add PCs to the PC Database, using the "PC Database" option on the "Other" menu.
