Featured Functions

Accessible IP

An IP address-based filtering method to control access to EDS switches.

Accessible IP Settings allows you to add or remove Legal remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access. Access to the EDS is controlled by IP addresses. That is, if a host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed access to the EDS. You can allow one of the following cases by setting this parameter

yOnly one host with the specified IP address can access the EDS-408A/405A

E.g., enter “192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255” to allow access to just the IP address 192.168.1.1.

yAny host on a specific sub network can access the EDS-408A/405A

E.g., enter “192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0” to allow access to all IPs on the sub network defined by this IP address/netmask combination.

yAny host can access the EDS-408A/405A

Disable this function by not selecting the Enable the accessible IP list checkbox. The following table shows additional configuration examples:
