Administrator Manual
Bypass or Lock IP, Subnet or MAC-Address

Allows you to define the IP addresses, the subnet or the MAC Addresses of the devices that must bypass the Welcome Portal and/or which must be locked.
For example, if you want to enable internet connection for an IP TV, a games console or generally a device that does not have a web interface, you have just to enter its MAC-address or static IP address on this page. In the same way, you have the ability to lock a device to prevent it from accessing the Welcome Portal and the internet.

Context Dropdown Menu

By clicking the properties button of the URL, the context dropdown menu is displayed with a series of options grouped together for: edit.

Adding or Editing

To enter a new IP address, subnet or MAC address, you have to choose “ Bypass or Lock IP/MAC Address” and press on the command bar “Add”. To modify an IP address, a subnet or a MAC-address press on the context button and choose “ Edit”. In both cases a page will open that will allow you to manage the following fields:
