2.8.17 Manually controlling network access
You can manually control network access while the network monitor is enabled.
Levels of priority apply to the network access control settings. If you manually deny a device network access, and a situation later arises in which the device would be automatically granted access to the network, the device remains blocked. If you want to prevent a particular computer from connecting to the network in any circumstances, set it to Deny manually. For details about how to manually control network access, see 2.8.14 Automatically controlling network access.
- Tip
-
If you manually permit a device to access the network, and a situation later arises that automatically blocks the device, the manual setting is overruled and the device is denied network access.
You can use the following method to manually change a device's network access:
- Controlling network access in the Device module or Security module
-
In the Device Inventory view of the Device module and the Computer Security Status view of the Security module, you can change the network connection status of individual devices.
Select the computer whose connection status you want to change in the information area, and from the Action menu, select Allow Connection or Deny Connection. The change takes effect immediately.
