Operator - An Operator has access to all of the settings not included in the System Options, that is, he/she can add and edit settings for event types, upload servers, audio and video, etc.

Administrator - An Administrator has unrestricted access to the whole server and can consequently determine the registration of all other users.

Firewall Settings

The built-in firewall protects your AXIS 250S against unauthorized access. To restrict access, you can add IP addresses to the list of allowed addresses - no others will be permitted access.

Enable/Disable Firewall - Click this button to enable or disable the firewall function.

Allowed IP Addresses - This list box shows the currently configured IP addresses.

Adding Allowed IP Addresses

IP Address - Add a single IP address or a whole range of addresses. This last option can be useful if you have a large number of IP addresses that all need access to the MPEG-2 Video Server. To add a range of addresses type e.g. 192.168.0.* This will add all the addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. Up to 256 allowed IP addresses can be specified.
