Group-Based IP ACL (Access Control List)
Important: Exercise caution when using group-based IP access
control. It is possible to be locked out of your KSX II if your IP
address is within a range that has been denied access.
This feature limits access to the KSX II device by users in the selected
group to specific IP addresses. This feature applies only to users
belonging to a specific group, unlike the IP Access Control List feature
that applies to all access attempts to the device, is processed first, and
takes priority.
Important: The IP address 127.0.0.1 is used by the KSX II Local Port
and cannot be blocked.
Use the IP ACL section of the Group page to add, insert, replace, and
delete IP access control rules on a group-level basis.
To add (append) rules:
1. Type the starting IP address in the Starting IP field.
2. Type the ending IP address in the Ending IP field.
3. Choose the action from the available options:
Accept - IP addresses set to Accept are allowed access to the
KSX II device.
Drop - IP addresses set to Drop are denied access to the KSX II
device.
4. Click Append. The rule is added to the bottom of the rules list.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each rule you want to enter.
To insert a rule:
1. Enter a rule number (#). A rule number is required when using the
Insert command.
2. Enter the Starting IP and Ending IP fields.
3. Choose the action from the Action drop-down list.
