Xerox 490 ST, 480 ST manual Setting Security, Defining IP Restrictions

	Setting Security
	The HTTP Settings pages are used to set up access to the Document
	Centre’s embedded HTTP server. You can set up security by
	defining IP address restrictions.
	Users are then restricted from accessing certain web pages (files
	and directories) unless they have the appropriate client IP address.
	The security settings are saved in a configuration file for the
	specific Document Centre’s embedded HTTP server and apply only
	to that HTTP server.
	Defining IP Restrictions
	The Edit IP Restriction Settings Page is used to define the IP
	addresses that can or cannot access certain web pages (files or
	directories) on the embedded HTTP server. By entering an IP
	address and clicking the appropriate button, you can allow or
	restrict access.
NOTE
	Ensure that you know your network configuration and user’s
	browser configurations. The HTTP Server allows/restricts access to
	the IP addresses as they appear in the list. For example, if users
	connect through a proxy server to access a Document Centre, the
	proxy server’s IP address needs to be restricted to restrict the access
	of those particular users.
	An asterisk (*) can be used in the address as a wildcard. Using the
	wildcard includes or restricts (depending whether you are allowing
	or restricting access) all host addresses and/or subnet addresses. For
	example, 192.246.238.* references a subnet, 192.246.* references a
	wider subnet, 192.* references the widest subnet, and * references
	all host addresses.
	When a request is made to access the web site, the embedded HTTP
	server checks the IP Address Permissions list to determine if the
	requesting IP address is allowed access. The HTTP server begins at
	the top of the list and stops when it finds the first entry that matches
	the IP address requesting access.
	If there are two entries that correspond to the same IP address, the
	first one in the list is used. The list explicitly determines access;
