Pearl-2 User Guide Restrict viewers by IP address
Item Description
to a rule in the allow list.
If your viewer account has a password, your viewers must connect to the system from a computer (or
gateway) with a permitted IP address and must also supply the user name (viewer) and password before they
can view the broadcast.
To restrict access by IP address, you need to know the IP addresses or range of addresses for your viewers. By
default, all IP addresses are allowed to connect to the broadcast.
If a user attempts to connect to the stream from a disallowed IP address, access is denied. If there's an
attempt to connect using a web browser, the message "IP address rejected" is displayed.
