Restricting the Users Who Can Perform Multicast Discovery

This section describes the procedure for specifying the settings using the Remote UI. To specify the settings using FTP Client, see "FTP Client."

NOTE
Multicast discovery This is a function that searches for certain devices using Service Location Protocol (SLP). By using the multicast discovery function, you can search for only the devices whose values in [Scope Name] are verified, using the service location protocol (SLP) from utility software, such as NetSpot Device Installer.

Start the Remote UI, and then log in as Administrator.

Select [Information] from the [Device Manager] menu.

Click [Change] under [Security].

Select the [Restrict Multicast Discovery] check box.

Select [Respond to Specified IP Addresses] or [Do Not Respond to Specified Addresses].

[Respond to Specified IP Addresses]	Only users specified in [IP Addresses] can respond to searches that used the multicast discovery function.
[Do Not Respond to Specified Addresses]	Users specified in [IP Addresses] cannot respond to searches that used the multicast discovery function.

Set the IP address.

(1)

Enter an IP address that can respond or cannot respond to searches that used the multicast discovery.

Enter the IP address by separating the numbers with "." (period), for example, AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD.

(2)

Click [Add].

You can also enter IP addresses as follows.

Input Example of the IP Addresses	Method for Entering IP Addresses
AAA.BBB.CCC.15-AAA.BBB.CCC.18	If you want to enter the IP addresses of consecutive numbers, place "-" (hyphen) between the address of the smallest number and that of the largest number. The example on the left is equivalent to entering addresses from AAA.BBB.CCC.15 to AAA.BBB.CCC.18.
AAA.BBB.CCC.*	Entering "*" (asterisk) is equivalent to entering the numbers from 0 to 255. The example on the left is equivalent to entering addresses from AAA.BBB.CCC.0 to AAA.BBB.CCC.255.

	You can set IP addresses of up to 255 characters.
	<Counting example of the number of characters> "192.168.0.215" = 13 characters "192.168.0.215-192.168.0.218" = 27 characters

NOTE

(1)	Select an IP address you want to delete.
(2)	Click [Delete].

Click [OK].
