Location Based Accounting provides the capability to automatically determine a device's location based on its IP address.
Use this form to specify IP address ranges and map them to zone IDs. When an IP device registers with the ICP, its IP address is compared to the ranges contained in the form. If the IP address falls within one of the ranges, the automatically determined zone for the device is that which is programmed against this range.
The IP Address Range – Start and End values must be in IP address format.
When the IP addresses are read as positive 4 byte integers, the IP Address Range – Start value must be less than or equal to the IP Address Range – End value.
A newly defined IP address range must not overlap with an existing IP address range.
A maximum of 500 IP Address ranges are supported.
Multiple IP Address ranges can be associated with the same zone ID.
