Configure security

To control connections to the Fiery server, you can allow communication through specific IP ports, or you can restrict a range of IP addresses.

Allow communication through specific IP ports

To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery server, you can restrict network activity to specific ports. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized ports are ignored by the Fiery server.

From Configure, choose Security > TCP/IP Port Filtering.
Select Enable TCP/IP Port Filter and specify the ports to enable.
Select only the ports that you want to authorize on the Fiery server.
Save your changes.
To enable Remote Desktop access on the Fiery server, make sure that port 3389 is enabled, and that the Remote Desktop option (in the Fiery Server section) is enabled.

Note: Not every Fiery server supports the port 3389 option.

Allow or restrict a range of IP addresses

Restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery server by defining the IP addresses to accept or deny.

You can deny all IP addresses by default except for ones that you specifically accept, or accept all IP addresses by default except for the ones that you specifically deny. You can specify multiple ranges or IP addresses to accept or deny. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized IP addresses are ignored by the Fiery server. If you deny IP addresses by default and do not specify valid IP addresses to accept, all network communication to the Fiery server is disabled.

From Configure, choose Security > IP Address Filtering.
To allow IPv4 address filtering, select the IPv4 Address Filtering check box, indicate whether the Default Filter Policy for IPv4 should be to accept IP addresses except for the ones that you deny, or to deny IP addresses except for the ones that you accept, and click Add IPv4 Address Filtering to specify the IP address range and whether you want to accept or deny the range. You can add multiple ranges.
To allow IPv6 address filtering, select IPv6 Address Filtering check box, indicate whether the Default Filter Policy for IPv6 should be to accept IP addresses except for the ones that you deny, or to deny IP addresses except for the ones that you accept, and click Add IPv6Address Filtering to specify an IP address and prefix length, and whether you want to accept or deny this address. You can add multiple IP addresses.
Save your changes.
