2. In the **Allow Pairing From** section, define the IP addresses permitted for the authenticating mobile device, such as the device on which PingID mobile app is installed. Click one of the following:

   ### Choose from:

   * **Any IP Address**: Allow pairing from mobile device with any IP address.

   * **Only These IP Addresses**: Enter a list of allowed IP addresses or ranges. Only pairing requests from mobile devices with IP address in the permitted range are allowed.

     | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | Enter the IP addresses or ranges using CIDR notation, each entry on its own line. |

3. In the **QR Code Expiration** field, enter the number of hours for which the QR code will remain valid (1-48 hours; default is 48 hours).

4. Click **Save**.
