Blocking Internet Use at Particular Times
When using the
LAN Usage Filters
, you have the additional opportunity to establish Internet
controls that run between particular times. There are two ways to do this:
(1) The “manual” approach: Enter the Web-based Configuration Utility at the beginning
and end of restriction periods, to enable and disable continuous filters by checking
and un-checking the
Enabled
boxes at the end of each line.
(2) The “automated” approach: Use day and time settings on
LAN Usage Filters
,
automatically engaging and suppressing the restrictions at desired times.
For this example, we assume that:
•
the “automated” approach is desired,
•
there is one PC to be restricted,
•
the IP address assigned to that PC is 192.168.40.4, and
•
the PC is to be restricted from 6 PM to 8 PM, Monday through Friday.
Step 1:
At
LAN Usage Filters
, under
LAN IP Address Range
, enter the IP address(es) of
the PC(s) to be restricted.
NOTE:
If you intend to restrict multiple clients in the home, it is best to assign them consecutive
IP addresses, to allow you to enter a single LAN IP Address Range without disabling
another client, while conserving LAN Usage Filters at the same time.
Step 2:
Under
Protocol
, alternate
TCP
and
UDP
on each line.
