•To permit all the users located with a particular Class C network (e.g. 204.15.5.0) connection to the selected port then you would add the following Trusted Network New Rule:
Network IP Address: 204.15.5.0
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
•If you want to permit only one user located at a specific IP address (e.g. 204.15.5.13) to connect:
Network IP Address: 204.15.5.0
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
•If however you want to allow all the users operating from within a specific range of IP addresses (e.g. any address within 204.15.5.129 to 204.15.5.158) to be permitted connection to the nominated port:
