WTI CMS-16; Console Management Switch -- User's Guide

Mask #1 Action: Deny

Security Mask #2: 192.255.255.255

Mask #2 Action: Permit

Since 255 is a wild card, Mask #1 blocks all IP addresses Mask #2 then grants access to all addresses that begin with 192.

Example 3: Allow access only by addresses that begin with 192, deny access to 192.1.1.5.

Security Mask #1: 255.255.255.255

Mask #1 Action: Deny

Security Mask #2: 192.255.255.255

Mask #2 Action: Permit

Security Mask #3: 192.1.1.5

Mask #3 Action: Deny

Since 255 is a wild card, Mask #1 blocks all IP addresses. Mask #2 then grants access to all addresses that begin with 192. Finally, Mask #3 specifically blocks access by 192.1.1.5.

Note:

Mask #5 has priority over the four other masks. If Mask #5 is set to deny access by "255.255.255.255" (all wild cards), all IP addresses will be blocked, and you will not be able to access the CMS Command Mode via network. Access will only be allowed via the Console Port or Modem Port.

When using the wild card address "255.255.255.255" to block access by all IP addresses, make certain that at least one higher priority mask permits access by your IP address.

5.6.Copying Parameters to All Ports

The /CP command (Copy Port Parameters) provides a convenient means for selecting identical (or similar) parameters for all CMS RS-232 ports.

When the /CP command is invoked, the unit will display a menu which allows you to select port communication parameters, and then copy them to all CMS RS-232 ports. The Copy Port Parameters menu can be used to set all parameters for all RS-232 Ports, or define only a select group of parameters and then copy them to all ports.

Note:

The /CP command will not copy parameters to the Network Port.

The /CP command is only available in Supervisor Mode.

The Copy Port Parameters Menu will not display the Port Password. This field will read either "undefined" or "defined", depending upon whether or not the Port Password has been specified.

To select common parameters for all CMS RS-232 ports, proceed as follows:
