4. Security parameters
Explanations about the masks settings:
•
Each mask can be an IP address or a range of IP addresses.
•
Each mask allows you to authorise or deny access to the Web
server of the Power Switch to specific addresses or to specific
ranges of addresses.
•
Each mask can be activated or deactivated (without function in
this case).
•
Each IP address consists of a series of four eight-bit numbers.
The number 255 is used as a wildcard, so it replaces all others.
•
Masks are listed in order of descending priority; so Mask 1 has
the highest priority.
•
Masks have a cumulative effect; high priority masks supersede
the effect of lower priority masks.
Example 1:
Deny the access to all IP addresses except 192.168.001.015
