You can set network security options to limit host access, and you can lock
the settings made in Remote System Explorer.
You can limit host access to the FP-20xx by setting access permissions for
different host machines. The default setting allows Read/Write access to all
host machines. To change the network security settings, follow these steps.
1. Right-click the comm resource in FieldPoint Explorer and select Edit
this comm resource. The Comm Resource Configuration dialog box
appears with the Network Security button enabled.
2. Click Network Security. The Network Security Settings dialog box
appears with the current settings, as shown in the following figure.
If your host machine does not have access to the FP-20xx, the Access
List is empty and dimmed.

• If you have an IP Access List saved in a file or you want your
FP-20xx security settings to match another FP-20xx unit, you can
import those setting by selecting the Import checkbox. Then
select the source (from file or from device). The settings read
from the source are shown in the Access List for you to modify,
if needed.
