IP address filtering
C
hecking the

box enables the IP address filtering function. Up
to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP
addresses). Click the
Add
button to add new filtered addresses.
When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses added to the list are set as allowed
or
denied addresses. All other IP addresses not in this list will then be allowed or denied
access accordingly, i.e. if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied
access, and vice versa. See also the online help for more information.
Note that users from IP addresses that will be allowed must also be registered with the
appropriate access rights (
