IP Filtering

Overview

The IP Filtering is a security feature that allows you to control access to Internet Services. IP
Filtering allows you to prevent unauthorized access by TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol).
The IP Filtering feature provides security to the machine, by allowing you to register the IP
addresses permitted to communicate with the machine.
