Greetings to all.

I see that the “Playback Security” option allows security to be transmitted to transmissions, I am interested in restricting access, only for some networks, but I see that the option only allows IPs to be used. Is there any way to authorize IP ranges?

You can add a range of allowable IP addresses @yonathan lagos, comma delimited

For example:

192.168.1.\* would allow all IP addresses within the subnet 192.168.1.x to be allowed.

You can’t use CIDR notation (192.168.1.0/24 format) but you can wildcard the subnet (192.168.1.\* format).

So you can create a list of IP address ranges by separating them with commas, e.g.

91.226.240._,91.226.241._,91.226.242._,91.226.243._,185.118.168._,185.118.169._,185.118.170._,185.118.171._
