WebShare allows two levels of Access List control. The user-defined Access List allows you to specify the services
available to a particular set of IP addresses on your LAN. The Universal List applies to all IP addresses on your LAN. You
may setup individual user-defined Access Lists for as many or as few of your local IP addresses as you wish. (You are not
required to create any.)

An outbound request for service from a given IP address is first checked against the user-defined Access List for that IP
address if one exists. If none exists, or if the existing list does not affect that request, then the request is checked against the
Universal List. Any Access List (Universal or user-defined), can be set to match the Medium security setting by pressing the

RESET TO DEFAULT box next to the Allowed Outbound Services folder.

The Universal List

The Universal List serves as a default. Its rules apply to any IP address which has no user-defined Access List or one that
has a user-defined list which does not specify a disposition for a given service. Services may be added to or removed from
the Universal List, but the list itself cannot be deleted.

Note: After making changes to an Access List, you must click the Save button at the bottom of the Advanced Access
screen. (Scroll down, if necessary.)
