Port Access Time

After you have authorized the ports for specific services, you can optimize the port access times.

To authorize port access to remote access services for a specific time of day or week, complete the following steps:

1. Select Restrict Service by Port from the Configure Security window.

   A list of installed services is displayed.

2. Select a service.

   A list of ports authorized to use that service is displayed. If Any Port is listed, press Ins and select the ports for the service to use.

3. Select a port.

   The Access Time Restrictions window for that port is displayed.

   The selected port can access the service during the times marked with an asterisk. Each asterisk denotes a half-hour block. To restrict access time, use the following keys:

   • Enter ---Toggles the current setting.
   • Arrow keys---Move the cursor.
   • Space or Delete ---Turns an option off.
   • * or Ins ---Turns an option on.
   • F5 ---Marks and changes a large block at a time.
   • F4 and F6 ---Copy restrictions to or from other ports.

4. Press Esc and save the changes.

   NOTE:  This procedure only limits the time that a port can establish a connection to a service. Once connected, the port will not be disconnected unless the user requests it or an idle timeout or maximum connect time occurs.
