3.5 IP Packet Filtering
Compex NetPassage 15B enables the users to define administrative functions based on
packet filtering rule. With IP packet filtering, you may perform Time-based Access
Management and Internet Application Filtering.
Time-based Access Management selectively allow or disallow certain computers in the
network to access to the Internet in different time frame. For example, you may define a
function to allow your children to access to the Internet only between 8:00PM to
10:00PM.
Internet Application Filtering selectively allow/disallow certain application to connect
to the Internet. For example, if you wish to allow only web browsing in the network, you
may define a function to allow only HTTP protocol to pass through the NetPassage 15B.
