  2. Choose Settings from the left hand menu.
  3. Select AccessPatrol and then Client Settings from the menu bar.
  4. Uncheck the option Apply block settings when the server is unavailable.
    If this option is unchecked, when the server becomes unavailable, the client computers will not be blocked.
