Group-based System Access Control

This is the IP filtering function, it keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing to the
IP-KVM by specifying IP filtering rules. It is important to fully understand what an IP filter
is. If you don't fully understand this, you will get unexpected results against your original
plan.

Chain rule

The Chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It can
be one of these two values:

„

ACCEPT : access allowed

„

DROP : access not allowed

The rule can be configured to apply to a particular Group level (All, User, Super,
Administrator).

When the IP-KVM receives a TCP packet, it will process the packet with the chain rule
depicted below. The process ordering is important; The packet will enter the chain rule 1
first, if meet the rule then take action directly, otherwise go to chain rule 2.

Check the “Enable Group based System Access Control” to edit the rules

Users can add a new IP filtering rule by setting the properties at adding line by Append
or Insert. User can remove a rule by Remove or Delet
