13.2.1 IP Filtering

To add an IP filter:
1. Check the IP Filter Enable box.
2. Click Add. A dialog box will appear:
3. To filter a single IP address, enter the same IP address into the From and To fields.
4. To filter a range of IP addresses, enter the starting IP address in the From field and the ending IP address in the To field.
5. After entering in the addresses, click OK.
6. Repeat these steps for any additional IP addresses you want to filter.
To delete an IP filter:
Select the desired IP filter from the list and click Remove.
To modify an IP filter:
1. Select the desired IP filter from the list and click Edit. An Edit dialog box similar to the Add dialog box will appear.
2. Delete the old start IP address and replace it with the new one.
3. Delete the old end IP address and replace it with the new one. Click OK.
Note: To block a computer from accessing the KVM Switch, you do not need to filter both its IP address and its MAC address. Any computer blocked by an IP
filter will be denied access to the KVM switch, even if the computer is allowed to access the KVM switch under the MAC filters.

13.3 Login String

The Login String allows the KVMs IP address to be more secure by adding extra text to the end of it. When text is entered into the Login String
field, users will need to include a forward slash (/) and the Login String at the end of the URL to access the KVM switch. For example, if a Login
String of abcdefg is entered, the user must enter a URL such as 192.168.0.126/abcdefg.
The following characters are allowed in the login string:
0 through 9; a through z; A through Z; ~ ! @ $ & * ( ) _ - = +[ ] , . |
The following characters are not allowed:
% ^ " : / ? # \ ' { } ; < > [Space]
Compound characters (É Ç ñ ... etc.)
Note: If a Login String is not entered, anyone can access the KVM switch using the IP Address alone, making the installation less secure.
