The confusion is: there three series of Proventía Appliances.
1 - Proventía A (A201, A604, A1204 and A1204F): IDS Appliances;
2 - Proventía G (G100, G200, G1000, G1200 and G1200): The IPS Appliances;
3 - Proventía M (M10, M30 and M50): Integrated Security Appliances, which is
mainly a Firewall.
It does not mean that you cannot use the Proventía G Series as a static address
filter, because if you can do it dynamically (one of the three methods used by
Porventía G) you, of course, can do it statically.
Take a look at:

Subject: Firewall vs. IPS - Differences now (ISS, Intrushield 2.1?)
Things are getting a little confusing. ISS claims that its Proventia boxes are
also firewallas. Intrushield 2.1 has firewall/layer 4 filtering capabilities
now. If the Intrushield box layer 4 acls now then what makes it not be equal to
a firewall? What does a firewall do that an IPS doesn't as long as the IPS can
do layer-4 access lists? Any info is apprecaited.
