Local IP ranges
You can specify IP address ranges which your system should recognize as coming from a local
network. This can be relevant if different subnets are used across your local network.
1. Click the Add button.
2. In the Start Address column, specify the first IP address in the range.
3. In the End Address column, specify the last IP address in the range.

language and character encoding is used in clients' communication
with the server.

users performing similar tasks, this can save you significant amounts of work. User groups are logical
groups created and used for practical purposes in the Management Application only. They are not in
any way connected with user groups from central directory services such as, for example, Active
