To allow an IP Address or an IP Address range you can run the following commands changing the value of the IPAddressOrRange parameter:
Add-AzureRMStorageAccountNetworkRule -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -AccountName $storageAccountName -IPAddressOrRange "79.159.46.90"
Add-AzureRMStorageAccountNetworkRule -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -AccountName $storageAccountName -IPAddressOrRange "79.159.46.0/24"
