Restricting Access to the Machine (IPv6)
If you are using this machine on a network environment, there are possibility that the machine may be hacked. By restricting IP addresses that can have access to the machine, you can prevent unauthorized transmission and access.
This section describes how to only allow computers with IPv6 prefix address with fec0:0:0:1::1234/64 to view and specify each settings on the machine using Remote UI or application software via IPv6 network.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
