The upper portion of the page displays the summary of restrictions that are applied to the selected
computer. The lower portion of the page is used to modify the restriction schedules of each category for
this computer.

Step 2: Enable Internet Access Restriction

To begin setting up a schedule of allowed applications (or restrict Internet access altogether) for this
computer, you must first enable Internet Access Restriction by clicking the

ENABLE

checkbox in the

upper left corner of the Restrict Internet Access area. This action restricts all Internet access, regardless of
category, day of the week, and so on. Leaving this box unchecked allows full access to the Internet.

Step 3: Permit and schedule a specific application category

After restricting Internet access, you can permit certain application categories to be accessible either all the
time or according to a schedule that you configure.

Internet Access categories

Internet Access categories are predefined groups of Internet applications that can be used to provide
flexibility and ease in defining Internet access for computers on your local network. You can also adjust
Internet Access schedules, per category, for each day of the week. For example, you can set up a different
schedule for Web browsing on weekdays and weekends.

For each computer on your network, you can set Internet Access schedules that allow:

Allow Web Browsing - Choosing the Web Browsing category allows basic Web surfing using an
Internet browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer™ or Netscape Communicator™. Other
applications that require Internet access, such as email services and Internet Messaging, are not
available unless allowed under other categories.
