NPort Server User’s Manual

Granting Access to Hosts
You can allow hosts to use the ports on a shared NPort server by assigning access
permissions to the host. The access control list can only be defined by the server’ s
administrator for security. Without granting access, you see the screen with ‘ Non-
authorized’ for the ports.
After Add Server Wizard and if you have input your password showing that you are
the administrator, your server is granted to access to the server you have added. You
may go to server properties to check on that. However, if you failed on the password
confirmation, you can map the ports to your NT but you cannot access to the port.
You have to ask your administrator to add your IP address to the access control list
of the server to grant your access. If you are not sure the IP address of the host you
want to add, run ‘ ipconfig’ from the host’ s NT MS-DOS prompt.
. Note: If you want to let the ports to be accessed by all users, simply empty the
access control list.
To grant access, enter Access Control Page first:
1. Run NPort Manager
2. Click on the Server you want to make modification.
3. Click on Server Properties from toolbar.
4. Select Access Control page.
5. Screen shows a list of ports and two ways of adding permissions.
There are two methods provided for easy adding hosts. It allows you easily viewing
the access control list by Port or by IP address. These two approaches also apply to
the procedure for adding new hosts. Next two sections describe how to add hosts
under both approaches.
