When you "Access" it does not "put" anything. But when you Add an IP (which you entered manually) in the Add An IP interface, then an IP is added. Also, when you access the Dynamic Link (the one with :81 in it), it still will not add an IP until you successfully enter a user and password.
At that point, the system is designed to add the IP from which the Web Browser accessed the site. This should always be a public IP, because that is the purpose of the page: To allow external access to someone who has proper credentials. Without involving a technician or administrator at the facility every time someone accesses from an external site. This is impossible without the special link, so it's still secure (the link is not something you can "guess", it's too complex).
The public IP of the person accessing the system is then added to the good list. Then that person can access the entire Vicidial system just as if you had entered their Public IP manually using the administrative link. This IP will be forgotten at reboot (ie: temporary add for remote users whose IPs may change daily).
