CHAPTER 4: ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS 51
- YES: IP-Reach will grant remote access to up to four designated IP addresses or address
levels. Administrators can set IP-Reach to accept requests only from the company’s intranet
and/or from just a few outside IP addresses. The IP Mask fields determine what remote IP
addresses IP-Reach will grant remote access to.
♦ A specific IP Mask instructs IP-Reach to grant remote access only to this specific remote
IP address. For example, a mask of 10.0.0.1 instructs IP-Reach to grant remote access
from the remote IP address location 10.0.0.1 only.
♦ The value 255 acts as a wildcard in any location of the IP mask address. For example, a
mask of 10.0.0.255 instructs IP-Reach to grant remote access from any remote IP address
location within the range 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255. Similarly, a mask of 192.255.255.255
instructs IP-Reach to grant remote access from any remote IP address location beginning
with 192.
Note:
Once Restrict remote IP address has been enabled, an entry must be made in at
least one of the IP Mask fields, since 0.0.0.0 is an invalid IP address.
• Private key: Enter a private key password. This private key acts as a second level of password
protection. Only remote users who know the private key password, in addition to their user name and
password, can log in and connect to IP-Reach.
- Confirm private key: Enter private key password again for re-confirmation.
Note:
Private key passwords are case sensitive. For remote user login, they must be
entered by the user in the exact case combination in which they were created here.
Note: Private key passwords must be alphanumeric. Special characters cannot be used.
Performance Settings
The Performance Settings screen is used to set up IP-Reach’s video data transfer and bandwidth
parameters.
• Pause video stream for idle users: Pausing the flow of video data during periods of prolonged
inactivity will prevent an inactive user from needlessly consuming bandwidth.
- Never (default): Video data will continually be sent to Remote PC, constantly updating the
screen, even if the remote user is Idle, sending no active input to IP-Reach.
- After 5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes: Video data flow to the Remote PC will pause after the
selected time period has passed with no active input from the Remote PC.
• Maximum total Bandwidth usage: Sets an upper limit to the amount of bandwidth that can be
consumed by this one IP-Reach unit.
