The NAT32 Administration feature allows hosts on a private LAN to be selectively enabled and disabled. Hosts can be enabled for a specified time or traffic volume, and be bandwidth limited. The feature is turned on or off with the commands admin on or admin off.

Details of each detected host are stored in a Host Table, which can be viewed and modified via the admin commands or via the Administration Dialog Box. The dialog box can be displayed or closed either by clicking the  toolbar icon or with the commands admin open or admin close. Closing the dialog box does not disable administration, although opening the dialog box does enable administration.

Command admin with an IP address argument allows the specified machine to be either disabled, or enabled for a specifed number of minutes (time), or be assigned a name.

If only the IP address of an existing host is specified, the following details for that host are printed:

(Name) IP Start_Date Stop_Date UpTime State
[Bytes] <Bytes> [Limit] <Limit> [bps] <bps> <bps_limit> <pps_limit>

Name is an optional machine name.
IP is the IP address of that machine.
Start Date and Stop Date are printed as UNIX-style date and time strings.
UpTime is printed in seconds.
State is either Disabled or Enabled.
Usage details are Bytes in and out followed by Limit, bps in and out followed by the output bps_limit and finally, a packets per second output limit pps_limit.
Input values are enclosed in [], output values are enclosed in <>.

If the specified IP address is not in the host table, it will be added, and its enable state will be set to the default enable state, which is enabled, unless a previous admind command set the default enable state to disable.
New hosts have their output bandwidth limited to 20,000 bps and can send 2 packets per second per default. These default output limits can be adjusted with the admind command.

A host can be named by specifiying the IP address and a name.

If both the IP Address and a disable argument are specified, the usage time will be printed and subsequently set to 0. That computer will remain disabled until enabled with the enable argument.

Command admind sets the default admin state to enabled or disabled, or prints the setting of the default state if no argument is specifed.

Command adminc deletes an entry specified via its IP address or Name from the Registry and the Host Table.

Command adminl enables or disables the log feature. With no argument, adminl prints the setting of log feature.

Command adminr deletes the Admin Registry Key if registry is specified, or clears the Host Table if htab is specified.

All Internet traffic is monitored if the admin function is on, except if NAT32 is in routing-only mode, in which case only output traffic can be monitored because Internet traffic to private machines does not pass through the NAT32 Router.

The NAT32 filter functionality can be used to discard or delay specific packets. If such packets are discarded, they will not be seen by the admin function. Delayed packets will be queued for later transmission.

Clicking Menu Item Admin will display an admin dialog box.
