Modify a Web site address currently in the table

1. Click the ‘Edit’ icon in the ‘Action’ column to open the ‘Restricted website’ dialog.

2. Modify the ‘Restricted website’ address, ‘Local host’ and ‘Schedule’ as required. Tip: Copy and

paste the address from the browser address bar to the management console, leaving out the

“http://” at the beginning and the “/” at the end of the address.

3. Click ‘OK’ to save the changes.

Ensuring that all IP addresses to Web-sites in the table are blocked

From the ‘Webrestrictions’ tab, click ‘Resolve now’. GlobeSurfer III+ will ensure that all IP addresses at

each web site address in the table are included.

You may disable a restriction and make a web site available again without removing it from the

‘Restrictions list’. This way you can make the site temporarily available when you expect to block it

again later:

 To disable a restriction, clear the checkbox in the ‘Local host’ column next to the restricted URL.

 To re-enable the restriction, tick the checkbox.

To remove an item from the Restrictions list, click the ‘Remove’ icon in the Action column.

MAC Filtering

A common method of restricting WLAN network access is to specify the Media Access Control (MAC)

address. Every WLAN network adapter is identified by its MAC address. Specifying which computers can

connect to your network can limit network access to trusted computers. GlobeSurfer III+ supports MAC

filtering based on a list of denied or allowed computers. MAC filtering mode ‘Allow’ specifies that the

list of MAC addresses is granted access to GlobeSurfer 2. MAC filtering mode ‘Deny’ specifies that all

computers except those in the list of MAC addresses are granted access to GlobeSurfer 2.

Before you set up your list of trusted MAC addresses, you have to know what they are. A device’s MAC

address is usually found on a sticker on the bottom of the device. For internal wireless PCI cards, refer

to your operating system documentation for instructions.

You can also type ‘ipconfig /all’ in the ‘Command Prompt’ in Windows to locate the MAC address. The

MAC address displays as the physical address.

Adding wireless computers to MAC filtering

1. Enter the 'Advanced Mode' and then chose 'Local Network'  and 'Wireless'  from the menu tab and

sub-menu.

2. Select ‘Advanced’ from the right hand menu tabs  and finally the ‘Wireless’ tab  to open ‘LAN

Wireless properties’.
