Enter the IP address range of your network which you want to control (i.e. 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.119, which will be blocked access to the sites you define in the following steps). And Click Save to save the settings.
(2) Select the Mac Address in mode field, then enter a short description in Host Description field. Enter the MAC address of the computer and the format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. And Click Save to save the settings.
