====== KeexyBox - Manage users and devices connections ======

The KeexyBox connection manager allows the administrator to pause, disconnect, reconnect users and devices from the Internet. It also allows you to see the Internet usage of each connection.

Go to the connection manager:
  * Use your browser and connect to the [[using_admin_access|KeexyBox Management Web interface]].
  * On left menu, go to ''Connections''.

The page will show you all the user and device connections established by KeexyBox. You can launch actions on each of the connections.
===== Pause/Resume connections =====
The ''pause'' action pauses the Internet connection of the user or device.
When a connection is paused, the user or the device no longer has access to the Internet. 

The ''resume'' action restores the paused Internet connection of the user or the device.

A paused connection for a user does not allow them to disconnect or reconnect to the Internet until the connection has been resumed by a KeexyBox administrator.

=== Pause a single connection ===

  * Identify in the list the user or device connection you wish to pause
