Access Rules
Except for the default rules, all configured access rules
are listed in the Access Rules table, and you can set the
priority for each custom rule.
If the Access Rules table has multiple pages, select a
different page to view from the Jump to drop-down menu.
If you want more or fewer entries listed per page, select
a different number from the entries per page drop-down
menu.
For each access rule, the Access Rules table lists the
following:
Priority The priority of the access rule is displayed, 1
indicating the highest priority. To change its priority, select
a different priority from the drop-down menu. (When an
access rule is created, the Router automatically assigns a
priority; however, you can change the priority after the
rule is created.) If there is a conflict between two access
rules, then the higher priority rule takes precedence. The
default access rules have the lowest priority.

Enable The status of the access rule is displayed. To
enable or disable a rule, click the Enable check box.

Source The specific Source is displayed.
Destination The specific Destination is displayed.
Time The time interval to which the access rule applies
is displayed.
Day The days to which the access rule applies is
displayed.
