The Powertech Network Security Work with Pre-Filters offers a launchpad for maintaining Network Security settings and for reporting on Network Security activities.
The pre-filter functions allow you to specify certain actions for transactions before they are evaluated by the regular Powertech Network Security rules. The primary action is to allow or not allow a transaction - allowing it causes it to be further evaluated by Network Security rules; not allowing it is equivalent to a Network Security reject. The other actions that you can specify are to audit the transaction, send an immediate message, and capture the transaction. These actions work exactly like their equivalents within Network Security rules processing.
