Networked VGA Grid User Guide Restrict viewers by IP address
these settings on a per-channel basis. Both global and per-channel configuration procedures are described
below.
IP address restriction is valid for the viewer only and does not affect the Admin panel or the
mobile configuration interface.
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 username (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 you’re not familiar with creating allow/deny lists, refer to the examples below this procedure for assistance
with crafting your lists.
To restrict viewers by IP address:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin . See Connect to the Admin panel .
2. Select the Access passwords link in the Configuration menu; the password configuration page opens.
3. Type allowed IP addresses or address ranges in the Allow IP’s field. Separate addresses with a comma.
4. Type denied IP addresses or address ranges in the Deny IP’s field. Separate addresses with a comma.
5. Click Apply .
To restrict viewers of a specific channel by IP address:
