Restrictions can be based on a combination of elapsed time or transferred data. These restrictions can be enforced for n day period beginning from user defined dates. Restrictions can also be assigned to users, group or specified computers.

Restrictions can be set on a combination of time/data transfer download and upload sizes.

Each restriction can be active at different periods within a weekday. For each day, three different periods can be defined.

Credit calculation can be based on a combination of time or data transfer. In addition, it is possible to postpone calculation process after a specified amount is exceeded.

This concurrent login only relates to Internet concurrent usage with user names and does not relate to network login.

Each restriction may contain a pool of IP address range which can be treated as permitted or banned IP addresses for selected users or groups. This will help restricting users to specified IP ranges.

Downloading files in a local area network results in the allocation of great portion of bandwidth. LAN Accounting allows administrators to specify maximum permitted download size and thereby reducing bandwidth requirements.

Its usually necessary to install special (client side) software on user computers rather than the software installed on server. This creates problems for installing and updating these programs on every computer in a local network. LAN Accounting works as a stand alone and server side only software and does not require any software installation or system configuration on client computers.

LAN Accounting can also support trusted domain users and apply respective restrictions.

Runs under Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating systems and integrates with its user data base. LAN Accounting does not perform any authentication and therefore there is no need to store user passwords on its database. This approach leads to high security levels.

Users will receive a proper message in the event of restriction infringements. These messages are in HTML format and can be customized based on clients preferences.

Administrators can monitor user activities when they are connected to the internet. This may include monitoring of:

• connection duration
• computer name or IP address of connection
• last URLs visited by each users
• current bandwidth allocated to users
• transferred data (send & receive) for each user

LAN Accounting uses MMC as its standard management environment. This will prevent time and energy to be consumed working with a new environment since all administrators are familiar with MMC environment.

LAN Accounting Management Console is designed to control multiple servers via single console. It is also possible to install that console on another computer and control desired server(s) remotely.

Almost all organizations prevent users from having access to some special sites. LAN Accounting helps managers to enforce their policies with the capability to filter a collection of URLs or providing access only to the permitted sites. This in turn results in a better productivity and eliminates Internet abuse.

Internet advertisements use a great amount of bandwidth which results in slow connection speed and remarkable time to download pages. LAN Accounting with a complete list of advertising URLs can filter undesired advertisements and save up to %30 of Internet bandwidth.

LAN Accounting provides additional component called Web pack which allows users to change their password or obtain summary/detailed reports on their usage in a friendly and easy to use web based environment. Administrators can also obtain a variety of reports remotely from this web based environment.

LAN Accounting provides comprehensive reports for administrators. Reports can be generated for users, groups and computers on selected period of time. Each report has different customization options.
