Searching IP Ranges

The Search IP Ranges function lets you generate a listing of all libraries that have configured a specified IP range as valid using the Define Valid IP Ranges function. You can search by location name, IP address range, library code, and/or user barcode. You can also define a new valid IP range (see Defining Valid IP Ranges for details).

NOTE: The Search IP Ranges function is available to Customer SuperUsers only.

To search IP ranges:

  1. From the User Admin menu, select Search IP Ranges.
    • The Search IP Ranges screen displays.
