This request sets the ban period, the ban time window and the number of retries:

<packet>
  <ip-ban>
    <set-settings>
      <ban-period>600</ban-period>
      <ban-time-window>600</ban-time-window>
      <max-retries>5</max-retries>
    </set-settings>
  </ip-ban>
</packet>

A response packet can look as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.6.7.0">
  <ip-ban>
    <set-settings>
      <result>
        <status>ok</status>
