3. Use the drop-down box to select Enable or Disabled.

NOTE: By entering an improper range of IP addresses, a user can possibly lock out all IP clients from
administering the autoloader. If this occurs, the user can restore the default values by running
Restore Default from the front panel Configuration menu.
Client Overlap Control is a management policy on controlling how the Web server handles overlapping
control requests from multiple clients on the authorized client list. The options include No Locking, Full
Locking, and Time-Based Locking.
No Locking allows multiple clients to have unrestricted access to control the system as long as they
are on the authorized client list.
Full Locking permits only one authorized client to issue control requests at a time. This client must
release the lock by clicking the Home/Logout option in the upper frame of the page to permit other
authorized clients to have control access.
Time-Based Locking is similar to Full Locking in that only one authorized client can have control
access at once, but the lock is automatically released after the specified number of seconds of
inactivity have elapsed.
After selecting the appropriate policy by clicking the check box, click Submit to save the changes.
1. From any page, click the Configurations heading. The Configurations screen displays.

3. Select a security option from the Client Overlap Control options:
No locking allows multiple users to access the system and issue requests.
Full Locking allows only one user to access the system and issue requests.
Time-based Locking allows only one user to access the system and issue requests with the
lock expiring after a designated amount of inactivity (in seconds).
Home/Logout is used to release a full or time-based lock and permit another user to access
the system.
NOTE: Locking is only available to users on the authorized client list.
