Service” screen appears. Define the service, then click OK. The
service will then be automatically added to the top section of the

to remove the service from the Access Control table. This may be useful to make
the service available temporarily, with the expectation that the restriction will be
reinstated later.
• To temporarily disable an access control, clear the check box next to the ser-
vice name.
• To reinstate the restriction at a later time, select the check box next to the
service name.
• To remove an access restriction from the Access Control table, click Remove
for the service. The service will be removed from the Access Control table.
