1.12 Operation

With c3surf single hosts or complete nets may be defined that are blocked after system boot then. By an informal registration via the web interface users can unlock circuits for a defined time span.

If the option LOGINUSR is activated, only persons with a valid user name and password will be allowed to log in.

In the Admin interface of the router users or MAC addesses may be displayed, logged out or blocked, either permanently or time based. These locks are only vaild for the registration with c3Surf and are managed there. The lock is meaningless if the PC in question gains access to the router via another interface.

The registration is accomplished with first-, lastname and E-Mail address or via user/password. After a defined time the access is blocked again and has to be reactivated by a new login.

The registration page may also be locked for the users (see FreeSurf resp. LoginUsr in the OPT menue of the Web interface).

All this operations are part of the Admin menu of the Web interface.

If a defined host should be unblocked permanently this may be done in the Web interface (see the ARP lists or DHCP leases).

All usage can be restircted by Quotas. This restricts use time and by the parameters ``-TIME'', ``-BLOCKTIME'' and ``-COUNTER'' a variety of configuration options are available.

Examples:

Time Blocktime Counter Quota (C3SURF_QUOTA='yes')
60 -1 0 60 Min use time, No lock after timeout, With every registration the time is running (parking meter principle)
60 240 0 60 Min use time, after timeout locked for 240 mins., With every registration the time is running (parking meter principle= Money in, no chance of interception)
60 0 -1 60 Min use time, after timeout locked until 00:00 o'clock, any number of logins and logouts possible (no parking meter principle)
60 -1 1 60 Min use time, no lock after timeout, time may be intercepted once
60 -1 -1 60 Min use time, no lock after timeout, as many interceptions as you like
600 10080 -2 10 hours within a week with as many interceptions as you like
0 -1 0 Endless use time with each registration, no lock after timeout
