Access Control Log
This log shows connection requests which have been blocked by the Access Control feature
or the built-in NAT Firewall.
Accesses which have been blocked for other reasons (e.g. URL filter, incorrect dial-in pass-
word, incorrect WEP settings on the WLAN) are NOT shown in this log. (The "Internet Access
Log" can be used to view connection attempts which have been blocked by the URL filter.)
Data shown in this log is as follows:
•
Port
- The port used to gain access to this device. Possible values are LAN, WAN, WLAN
(Wireless LAN), and RS232 (serial port).
•
Source IP Address
- The IP Address of the PC or device whose access request was
blocked.
•
Physical Address (Hardware Address)
- The hardware address of the PC or device
whose access request was blocked.
•
Name
- If known, the name of the device whose access was blocked. This name is taken
from the Access Control database. For Wireless devices, the name is obtained from the
Wireless Stations list, and so will always match the Physical (Hardware) address.
•
Destination
- The destination of the attempted access. Possible values are "Internet",
"LAN" or "WLAN".
•
"Internet" indicates an attempt by a LAN user, WLAN user, or dial-in user to access
the Internet using a protocol and/or port number which was blocked.
•
"LAN" or "WLAN" indicates a connection attempt from the Internet which was not
allowed. The protocol (TCP or UDP) and port number are shown in braces.
This data is useful if you want the access to be allowed. In this case, you can use this
data to configure the Advanced Internet - User-defined Virtual Servers screen or the
Advanced Internet - Special Applications screen. (In the case of a Special Application,
this log indicates the "Incoming Connection" for the Special Application.)
See Chapter 9 - Advanced Internet for further details of the Virtual Server and Special
Applications features.
Internet Access Log

Details shown in this log are as follows:
•
Source IP Address
- The IP Address of the LAN user, WLAN user, or dial-in user making
the connection request.
•

shown. But if the URL Filter feature is Enabled, the URL will be displayed.
For details on using the URL Filter, refer to Chapter 9 - Advanced Internet.

- This will indicate "Yes" if the connection attempt was blocked by the URL
Filter. Otherwise, this will be blank.
