LANCOM Content Filter

 Chapter 2: Configuring the LANCOM Content Filter

2 Configuring the LANCOM Content Filter

2.1 Introduction

The LANCOM Content Filter enables you to filter certain content from your

network, so preventing access to Internet pages with content that is illegal,

dangerous or offensive. It also enables you to stop private surfing on specific

sites during working hours. This not only increases staff productivity and

network security but also ensures that the full bandwidth is available

exclusively for your business activities.

The LANCOM Content Filter is an intelligent content filter that works

dynamically. It contacts a rating server that evaluates Internet sites reliably

and accurately in accordance with the categories that you select.

The LANCOM Content Filter operates by checking the IP addresses behind the

URLs that are entered. For any given domain it is possible to differentiate

according to the path, meaning that specific areas of a URL may be rated

differently.



It is not possible for users to avoid the LANCOM Content Filter website

rating by entering the website's IP address into their browsers.

The LANCOM Content Filter checks only unencrypted websites via

HTTP.

The LANCOM Content Filter license you purchase is valid for a certain number

of users and for a specific period (for one or three years). You will be informed

of the expiry of your license in good time. The number of current users is

monitored in the device, with the users being identified by their IP address.

You can configure what should happen when the number of licensed users is

exceeded: Access can either be denied or an unchecked connection can be

made.



You can test the LANCOM Content Filter on any router that supports

this function. All you have to do is to activate a 30-day demo license

for each device. Demo licenses are generated directly with LANconfig.

Click on the device with the right-hand mouse key and select the

context menu entry Activate software option. In the dialog that

follows, click on the button Demo license. You will automatically be

connected to the website for the LANCOM registration server. Simply

select the required demo license and you can register your device.
