It is very important that the school can block peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing software to ensure that the school is not held responsible for copyright infringement. Data download speeds are also regulated to share the Internet resources between all students.
The Guest Internet gateway protects students from the undesirable parts of the Internet, and protects the school when students try to share copyrighted material.
The school can use the Guest Internet gateway to control access to the Internet. Each student is issued with an access code that is tied to the students computer. The access code determines the time that the student can use the Internet. Reports also show each students Internet usage. The school can also use the gateway custom login feature to prepare a home page for the school, and advertise events via the login page.
