Scroll to Client Authorization Control. In this section is a list of the IP addresses that are authorized to perform with the Remote Management Unit for this specific unit. There are two sets of IP address boxes. You can individually enable/disable and configure each set.

¡If enabled, each set can be used to specify either a range of IP addresses or a pair of specific IP addresses that are allowed to administer this unit. A set can also be used to specify a single IP address if the desired IP address is entered into both the "a" and "b" portions of the set. When a set is used to specify a range of IP addresses, the "b" portion of each address set must be greater than or equal to the "a" portion of that address set.

¡If neither set is enabled, any IP client can administer the unit. If a single set is enabled, only clients that pass the test specified by that set are allowed administrator access. If both sets are enabled, any client that passes either of the two filter tests can administer the unit.

The Web server always allows any client to view the status information of the unit, regardless of the authorized client list or the overlap control policy.

3. Use the drop-down box to select Enable or Disabled.
