Deny or allow login access from specific IP addresses. By default, the administrator can log in 
from any IP address.

Note: After a factory default reset, the password and timeout value are changed back 

to password and 5 minutes, respectively.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as 

practical.
