Internet Access Scheduler™ FAQ

  • Q: What is Internet Access Scheduler?
  • A: Internet Access Scheduler (IAS) lets you decide which Windows 9x/Me users can access which TCP/IP based protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, Telnet etc.) on a local Windows 9x/Me computer. IAS allows you to set allowed/denied TCP/UDP destination ports for incoming and outgoing TCP/IP connections. Once IAS is installed, you can control access to incoming/outgoing TCP/IP connections depending on the time of day and the day of the week. IAS enhances access control for Windows System Administrators and can protect local and network computers against viruses, trojans and other malicious programs which are often obtained from the Internet unknowingly. Remote control is also available.
  • Q: What limitations are there in an unregistered version?
  • A: There are no functional limitations for an unregistered version and you may use Internet Access Scheduler (during the evaluation period) as a fully registered program but only on one computer. An unregistered version of Internet Access Scheduler displays nag screens.
  • Q: Is it safe to use my credit card on the internet?
  • A: Yes. All our registrations use SECURE protocols. It is impossible for a third party to intercept your credit card information. We also offer alternative ordering methods (such as order by fax, toll-free phone, bank transfer, etc.).
  • Q: I bought the Single license of Internet Access Scheduler. Could I install Internet Access Scheduler on all the computers in my network?
  • A: You may install Internet Access Scheduler Service on only a single computer but Internet Access Scheduler Manager can be installed on any number of your computers. The Single license gives you the right to use Internet Access Scheduler on one computer so you are able to control access on only one computer. If you wish to use Internet Access Scheduler on several computers, you need to purchase the appropriate number of Single licenses.
    For example, if you wish to control TCP/UDP connections on:
    - one computer - you need to purchase one Single license ($24.95);
    - two computers - you need to purchase two Single licenses ($49.90);
    - 45 computers in the one domain - you need to purchase 45 Single licenses ($1122.75), but you can buy the Site license ($300) and you'll be able to install Internet Access Scheduler on all the computers in the one domain (one Site license per one domain). Moreover, you will need to purchase additional licenses only for other domains so if you decide to add computers to the same domain, you won't pay for the extra licenses!
    - all the computers - you can purchase the World license ($600) and install Internet Access Scheduler on all the computers in your network.
  • Q: What is the difference between Site and World licenses?
  • A: A Site license gives you the right to install Internet Access Scheduler on all the computers in one domain. If you wish to install Internet Access Scheduler on all the computers in all your domains you should purchase the World license.
  • Q: Can I install Internet Access Scheduler under Windows XP/2000/NT?
  • A: You can install Internet Access Scheduler Manager on a Windows XP/2000/NT machine to manage remotely the Internet Access Scheduler Service on a Windows 9x/Me computers. If you would like to have user-level access control for TCP/IP connections on Windows XP/2000/NT, you can take a look at a third-party product - PortsLock developed by SmartLine Inc.
  • Q: Is it possible to install Internet Access Scheduler automatically (without any user intervention)?
  • A: Yes. Launch Internet Access Scheduler setup with the /s parameter to install Internet Access Scheduler without user intervention. This provides an install that can be used from within a batch file.
    There is a special configuration file for silent setup: setup.ini. With this file, you can customize the Internet Access Scheduler installation parameters. For example:
    1. "Install" parameters:
      • Service - Internet Access Scheduler Service and its related files will be installed
      • Manager - Internet Access Scheduler Manager and its related files will be installed
      • Documents - documentation (readme.txt, register.txt) will be installed
      • Items - Internet Access Scheduler will be included in the Programs Menu
      • To specify a destination directory for Internet Access Scheduler, you can supply the parameter InstallDir
      • If you have the registration key-file for Internet Access Scheduler, you can specify a directory with this file in the parameter RegFileDir
    2. "Misc" parameters:
      • Run - this parameter is used to launch an application or execute a batch file after a successful install.
  • Q: Internet Access Scheduler Service stopped a few seconds after launch or it didn't launch. What's wrong?
  • A: There are a few possible reasons. An error may have occured during the processing of the Internet Access Scheduler Service launch. Or Internet Access Scheduler can't be launched because you are attempting to use an unregistered copy in your network. Or you don't have enough licenses to launch another copy of Internet Access Scheduler Service.
    In any case, you can get more information from the iassrv.err file or iassrv.rpt file, located in your Windows/System directory.
