Modem or Wi-Fi adapters) when the computer is physically disconnected from the network. Select the Block bridged option when setting access levels for network devices. Note: The Block bridged mode prevents network bridging, for example, between a corporate network and a non-corporate network. The mode is available for both wireless and modem types of devices. The mode works by disabling either wireless or modem network adapters when an endpoint is connected to a physical network (typically through an Ethernet connection). Once the endpoint is disconnected from the physical network, the wireless or modem network adapters are seamlessly re-enabled. Short range Bluetooth interfaces Infrared (IrDA infrared interfaces) Device control blocks both internal and external devices and interfaces. For example, blocking Bluetooth interfaces will block both: The built-in Bluetooth interface in a computer and Any USB-based Bluetooth adapters plugged into the computer. 9. 2 Set up device control You can configure Sophos Control Center to scan for devices you want to control on your network on access. In the left pane, under Configuration, click Configure device control. The Device control policy dialog box is displayed. On the Configuration tab, set the options as follows: To enable device control, select the Enable device control scanning check box. If you want to detect devices but do not want to block them, select the Detect but not block devices check box. To set the access-level for each type of device, click in the Status column next to the device type, and then click the drop-down arrow that appears. Select the type of access that you want to allow.
