Policing students Internet access in the classroom can be a very difficult and time-consuming task, it reduces teaching time and misuse of IT during lessons can cause disruption and lack of concentration in your students.

Syscomm’s innovative new Server, called The Web Power Control Server, allows Teaching staff to control classroom Internet access in many powerful ways.

• Internet access from both individual machines and the whole classroom can be easily switched on or off.
• Website URLs can be easily added to a list of denied sites and filtered out.
• An intelligent phrase filter analyses requested URLs for any illegal word forms and denies access accordingly.
• Access can be denied to individual users.
• Comprehensive logging enables access to be recorded and monitored in both realtime and retrospectively – recording usernames, machine names, date & time and website accessed.
• Different levels of access to the WPC control panel can restrict access to the higher level functions for different members of teaching staff. For example, the phrase filter can be set to be maintained by one member of staff only.

All of this is controlled through the easy to use WPC control panel, which can be installed on as many computers, in as many classrooms as you wish.

As the focal point for your schools internet access, the WPC Server is built around a very robust and reliable operating system, and sits on market leading server hardware components.
