Access Profile Rules
Access profiles can contain up to 128 rules to determine who is permitted to manage and access
the device, and the access methods that may be used.
Each rule in an access profile contains an action and criteria (one or more parameters) to match.
Each rule has a priority; rules with the lowest priority are checked first. If the incoming packet

allocated to the IT management center. In this way, the device can still be managed and has
gained another layer of security.
