With A Computer
To display and change the rules and MAC addresses associated with a 
computer, follow these steps:
Either click on Computers in the Tree pane or if you have created 
Organizational Units to structure your computers, click on the 
organizational units subfolders until you reach the desired unit holding 
the computer.
Select the computer in the Details pane and right-click. Select Properties.
The Properties dialog window will appear. 
Select the Network Access tab, a list of rules created with 3Com Network 
Access Manager and for which you have read permission will be 
displayed in the window, see Figure 26. The tick box indicates how the 
rule is to be applied to the computer, see Table 10. 
You can change which of these rules are applied to a computer by either 
ticking or removing the tick from rules that are black. To change a rule 
that is applied indirectly through a group, see “Displaying And Changing
