Chapter 4. Administration

Security
The Security page controls access to the IP8000.
Overview
IP and MAC Filters control access to the IP8000 based on the IP and/or
MAC addresses of the computers attempting to access the system. If any
filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC
Filter list boxes.
The Default web page name lets the Administrator specify a login string
(in addition to the IP address) that users must include when they access the
IP8000 with a browser. For example:
192.168.0.126/abcdefg
Users must include the forward slash and the string when they specify the
IP address in the browser’s URL bar. For security purposes, we
recommend that you change this string from time to time.
Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the IP8000 with a
Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the installation
less secure.
