3.12 IP Packet Filtering
Compex NetPassage 16A 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

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 Compex
NetPassage 16A.
