Tripp Lite B051-000 owner manual Security, Overview, IP Filtering

Administration

Security

The security administration icon is used to control access to the

B051-000.

Overview

•IP and MAC Filters control access to the B051-000 based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to access the system. If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

•The Default web page name lets the Administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must include when they access the B051-000 with a browser. Users must include the forward slash and the string along when they specify the IP address in the browser’s URL bar. For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string from time to time.

•For example: entering abcdefg in the Default web page name field will require users to type in 192.168.0.126/abcdefg to access the B051-000 remotely.

Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B051-000 with a Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the installation less secure.

Filtering

To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters allowed for each.

•If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B051-000; all other addresses are denied access.

•If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B051-000; all other addresses are allowed access.
