Configuring the TCP/IP port access setting
Note:
This setting is available only in some printer models.
You can control your network device activities by configuring your device to filter out traffic on specific network ports.
Protocols (such as FTP, HTTP, and Telnet) can be disabled.
Port filtering on devices disables network ports individually. When a port is closed, a device does not respond to traffic
on the specified port whether or not the corresponding network application is enabled. We recommend closing any
ports that you do not plan to use under standard operation by clearing them.
This feature lets you set access settings on the different TCP/IP ports of the device.

Setting the restricted server list
Note:

connections from other addresses, protecting the device against unauthorized printing and configuring.
