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.
Clicking the property button of the URL brings up the context dropdown menu with varoius options grouped by: edit.
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:
| Field | Description |
| Comment | The short comment describing which device the bypass or lock refers to. |
| Type | Defines the type of bypass or lock. The possible values are as follows:

| MAC address | MAC address to bypass or lock. |
| IP Address | IP address to bypass or lock. |
| Subnet | The subnet in CIDR format to bypass or lock (example: 192.168.0.0/24). |
