MAC Addresses

This provides an optional extra layer of security apart from the authentication through a Windows username and password. You can use two methods to build the MAC address table:

Build your MAC address list automatically by first installing the ENPS Client on all of the workstations and devices at your site. Each time an ENPS Client connects to the Primary Server theG_MACS.NEWfile is updated with the MAC address of that workstation or device. This file is located in\COMMON\G_SUPPORTon the ENPSWORKdrive. To use the MAC addresses stored in this file replace the contents of the fileG_MACSwithG_MACS.NEW.
You can manually create an entry for each entry in the MAC address table described below.

Regardless of which method you choose, remember that any time a network card is added or removed from a workstation you must manually change that entry in the MAC address table. If a workstation or device is not listed in the MAC Address table, it will be denied access to the ENPS Client.

Settings

Field	Description
ID	Required field. MAC Address of the network adapter, e.g. 000123A2BCDE. To obtain a workstation's MAC address click on the ENPS logo in the upper left-hand corner of the ENPS Client on that workstation or open the command prompt and enter IPCONFIG /ALL Hyphens in MAC addresses must be removed when entering the address into the table.
Server	Required field. Primary or Server name such as APENPS01.
AcctCode	Required field. Internal accounting code. If you are not using this field enter 0001.
Active	Checkbox to indicate whether this network address has access to the ENPS Client. If this box is not checked, the workstation is explicitly prohibited from accessing the ENPS Client.
Free, Property ID, Location, Charge Code, Department, Notes	Fields used to store descriptive information about the device or workstation.
Monitor	This option applies to ENPS 6 clients only. Monitor information on client workstation. To enable monitoring for the selected MAC address, make sure the Active box is checked. You will have to enter something in the "AcctCode" box before you will be allowed to save this file. This can be anything. Restart the NOM on the ENPS server. Use a text editor such as Notepad to open the ENPS.INI file. In the [ENPS] section add the setting CtrlAlt=1 then restart the client on the designated workstation. Press Ctrl+Alt+M to open a window displaying statistics with an option to print a summary. date/time, action, details, and elapsed time (in seconds, accurate to .001 seconds) are shown. The following functions are monitored: Logins Opening a story Opening an agency news wire item Displaying an audio/video object Opening a folder list Searches Updating a Rundown Messaging The log will be cleared each time the ENPS Client is restarted.
StartDate	Date when access begins.
Private Channels	Semicolon delimited list of ENPS servers for which the client should open private channels. Refer to Private Channels for instructions on how to set up private channels.
Expires	Date on which access will be terminated.
SnapFeed	Used for legacy software support.
Override ForceLoginWithSSO	Used to indicate that this workstation can log in using Active Directory authentication even if System Maintenance > Global Configuration Options > ForceLoginWithSSO is set globally.
