Adding New Machine Access List Entries

Complete the following steps to add a new entry to the Machine access list.

  1. Select Tools»Options to display the Options dialog box.
  2. Select VI Server from the Category list of the Options dialog box.
  3. Click the Add button in the Machine access section to create a new entry.
  4. Type a valid browser address in the Machine name/address text box. Enter a domain name, such as mydomain.com, or an IP address, such as 130.164.123.123. You also can use wildcards in the browser address.
Note If the VI Server runs on a computer that does not have access to a DNS server, do not use domain name entries in the Machine access list. Requests to resolve the domain name or IP address fail, slowing down the computer.
  1. Click the Allow Access or Deny Access buttons to allow or deny access to the selected item, respectively. A green checkmark appears to the left of the item when you allow access, and a red X appears when you deny access. If an entry does not have a green checkmark or a red X by its name, the syntax for the entry is incorrect. Edit the entry or click the Remove button to delete it.
  2. Click the OK button to close the Options dialog box and save the changes.
