application page, then a user with viewing rights will also be able to use these.

video, etc.

consequently determine the registration of all other users.

After making the settings for the new user, click the OK button.

access, you can add IP addresses to the list of allowed addresses - no others will be

permitted access.

Click this button to enable or disable the firewall function.

Allowed IP Addresses -

This list box shows the currently configured IP addresses.

Adding Allowed IP Addresses

IP Address -

Add a single IP address or a whole range of addresses. This last option can be

useful if you have a large number of IP addresses that all need access to the MPEG-2 Video
Server. To add a range of addresses type e.g. 192.168.0.* This will add all the addresses in

the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. Up to 256 allowed IP addresses can be specified.
