For blade chassis, the port access permission will control access to the URLs that have been configured for that blade chassis. The options are Deny or Control. In addition, each blade housed within the chassis has its own independent Port Permissions setting.
If you are using a tiered configuration in which a base KX III device is used to access multiple other tiered devices, the tiered device enforces individual port control levels. See Configuring and Enabling Tiering for more information on tiering.
