Access Controls
Access Controls combines two full-featured applications that create an easy-to-use solution to keep your
office running smoothly:
• Internet Access Restriction
• Content Screening
Access Controls provides whole-network service. The password protected restrictions and schedules you
set are managed at the Intelligent Gateway rather than through individual PCs. A default setting can be set
for any new computers added to the network, so if an employee brings a home computer into the office, the
restrictions are automatically in place.
Internet Access Restriction
Internet Access Restriction allows you to:
• Set up employee profiles to block Internet usage based on day of week and time of day.
• Create Internet usage schedules for each computer in your business.
• Control the use of certain applications per user (such as Web browsing, Instant Messenger, and other
Internet applications).
This level of control enables employers to ensure that employees are focusing only on business
applications.
