or

nms mask add <IP address> [mask] and press Enter.

Mask, as given in this command, is a 16-bit value. Each bit corresponds to a modem slot. The most significant bit corresponds to slot 16, while the least significant bit corresponds to slot 1. If a value of 1 is used in the bit, the corresponding slot can not be managed with NMS software. If this value is omitted in the mask add command, the default value is 0 allowing all modems to be managed. The value entered must be in hexadecimal format either using one 16-bit word or two bytes where the first byte corresponds with slot 9 to slot 16.

To delete a mask type: nms mask del <IP address> and press Enter.

3. Then type: nms save to save your settings.
