Device mail address
The device mail address specifies the sender’s email address for all log and alarm delivery emails. SMTP servers
often check only the sender’s host domain name of the email address for validity. Consequently, the email
address set for the device can use an arbitrary username with a registered hostname (i.e.
[email protected] or [email protected]).
The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when either SMTP with authentication or POP-
before-SMTP mode is selected.

IP Filtering
The Model 2285 prevents unauthorized access using an IP address based filtering method (see
figure 13
). The
users can allow one of the following scenarios by changing the parameter settings:
•
Any host cannot access a specific service of the Model 2285
•
Only one host of a specific IP address can access a specific service of the Model 2285
•
Hosts on a specific subnet can access a specific service of the Model 2285
•
Any host can access a specific service of the Model 2285
The IP filtering feature is intended to control access to Telnet console, SSH console, Web server or each port,
which may be enabled or disabled. The factory default of the filtering feature is “All services and ports are
accessible from any host”.
The meanings of each parameter in IP filtering configuration are as follows:
Interface
Apply IP filtering rule to the incoming packet of Model 2285. This is fixed parameter as eth0(Read-Only).
