Access Control
It is possible to assign access permission to hosts to allow them access
to the ports on a shared EDG-4508/4516 . For security reasons, the ac-
cess control list can only be defined by the server’s administrator. If you
have not been granted access to a port, you will see a screen with the
message ‘Non-authorized’ for that port.
After running Add Server Wizard and typing in your password showing
that you are the administrator, you are granted access to the server you
have added. You may go to server properties to check that. However, if
you did not enter the correct password, you can still map the ports to
your NT, but you will not have access to the ports. You will need to ask
your administrator to add your IP address to the access control list of the
server to grant you access. If you are not sure of the IP address of the
host you want to add, run ‘ipconfig’ from the host’s NT MS-DOS prompt.
Note: If you empty the access control list, then by default, only
the connecting host’s IP address is granted.
1. Select the Access Control tab.
2. The screen will show a list of ports, and two methods of adding per-
mission.
