Connections
Define the permitted inbound connections
If you leave this field empty, all incoming RCCMD shutdown signals may trigger a shutdown.
As a surprise, this is an unfavorable condition that should be changed. By entering a sender IP, you limit which devices are in
principle authorized to send a command to this RCCMD client.
RCCMD commands from unauthorized devices are logged, but the RCCMD denies an execution.
The Connections configuration dialog
Insert and Edit
With insert, add a new IP address.
Save Changes will add the IP addrss to IP white list. Close aborts the
process and exits the configuration dialog. Repeat the process until all
RCCMD authorized stations have been recorded.
If the settings change over time, they can be edited:
Select an IP address and press Edit. The selected IP address is offered
to you in the configuration dialog and can be changed by you according
to your ideas. Save Changes complete the process.
Close cancels the process and terminates the configuration dialog.
Valid is both, the IP address of the sender as well as a valid host name
Working with hostnames is always tricky:
you also need a DNS server for translation between hostname and IP
address this hostname is associated with. If the DNS server is down or
the communication to the server is broken, RCCMD will not be able to
contact the according host and manage a shut down.
RCCMD supports host names, but in order to avoid the issue
described above, we recommend to use an IP address.
