Crew Configurations
The crew configurations allow the customer to
control user access to the system’s Internet
connection. Each crew configuration has certain
ports (and Wi-Fi) designated as “Crew LAN.”
Users who connect to the system via one of these
ports (or Wi-Fi) will be required to enter their
user name and password to access the Internet.

allotment for the current time period (e.g., day,
week, or month), access to the system is denied
