IP filter function
By identifying the IP address of the device with which communication is being performed, access by specifying an
unauthorized IP address can be prevented. Access is restricted by allowing or blocking access from IP addresses (of external
devices) set in the parameters. By specifying the IP address of external devices to be allowed or blocked in the parameters,
access from external devices is restricted. If used in an environment in which a LAN connection is established, use of this
function is recommended. Refer to the following for details on IP filters.
