1.6.4 General procedure for temporarily allowing network access for specified devices

If you deny network access for new devices, you have to change the network control settings whenever employees from other locations or individuals responsible for maintaining the systems within the company have to access the network within your organization. By specifying computers for which to temporarily allow network access, you can allow the specified computers to access the network for a specified period of time.

To temporarily allow network access for specified devices:

1. Allow network access for specified devices for a specified period of time.

Specify the computers for which to temporarily allow network access so that these computers can access the network for a specified period of time.

2. Extend the network access period during which network access is temporarily allowed for the specified devices.

To extend the network access period, specify a new period.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Specifying a period for which to allow network access for specified devices

When employees from other locations or individuals responsible for maintaining the systems within the company have to access the network within your organization, you can temporarily allow network access for their computers. In this way, the computers can access the network for a specified period of time.

1. Obtain information about the computers for which to allow network access.

To register the computers for which to allow network access, obtain the following information from the users in advance:

  • User name

  • Department to which the user belongs

  • Start date and end date of network access

  • MAC address

  • Reason for application

2. Temporarily allow network access for the specified computers.

In the Network Filter Settings view of the Settings module, specify the computers for which to temporarily allow network access.

Click the Add button and register the information that you have previously obtained from the users. Allow network access for the specified computers, select the Start Date/Time and End Date/Time check boxes, and then specify the period for which to allow network access.

The registered computers can access the network for the specified period of time.

When the specified period expires, network access is automatically disabled for the computers.

(2) Extending the network access period during which network access is temporarily allowed

When employees from other locations or individuals responsible for maintaining the systems within the company are temporarily allowed to access the network within your organization, the specified network access period is sometimes not enough to complete the necessary tasks. In this case, you can extend the network access period by specifying a new period.

To specify a new network access period, in the Network Filter Settings view of the Settings module, select the applicable computers and then click the Edit button. In the displayed dialog box, change the End Date/Time setting.
