authorized client list or the overlap control policy.

3. Use the drop-down box to select Enable or Disabled.

4. Type the IP addresses in the appropriate boxes.

5. Click Submit to save.

NOTE: By entering an improper range of IP addresses, a user can possibly lock out all IP clients from

administering the autoloader. If this occurs, the user can restore the default values by running

Restore Default from the front panel Configuration menu.

Client Overlap Control is a management policy on controlling how the Web server handles overlapping

control requests from multiple clients on the authorized client list. The options include No Locking, Full

Locking, and Time-Based Locking.

No Locking allows multiple clients to have unrestricted access to control the system as long as they

are on the authorized client list.

Full Locking permits only one authorized client to issue control requests at a time. This client must

release the lock by clicking the Home/Logout option in the upper frame of the page to permit other

authorized clients to have control access.

Time-Based Locking is similar to Full Locking in that only one authorized client can have control

access at once, but the lock is automatically released after the specified number of seconds of

inactivity have elapsed.

After selecting the appropriate policy by clicking the check box, click Submit to save the changes.

1. From any page, click the Configurations heading. The Configurations screen displays.

2. On the left-hand side of the screen, click Security.

3. Select a security option from the Client Overlap Control options:

No locking allows multiple users to access the system and issue requests.

Full Locking allows only one user to access the system and issue requests.

Time-based Locking allows only one user to access the system and issue requests with the

lock expiring after a designated amount of inactivity (in seconds).

Home/Logout is used to release a full or time-based lock and permit another user to access

the system.

NOTE: Locking is only available to users on the authorized client list.

4. Click Submit.
