WEB-ENABLED INTERNET POWER SWITCH
NOTE
When the Web server is disabled, you can’t communicate via the Web
browser interface.
• Port number: Sets the TCP/ IP port number. The port number can be set to
any valid number except 23; this is because 23 is the default port number used
to communicate with the IPS via Telnet. (The default value for port number
is 80.)
5.4 Save Configuration Parameters
The IPS offers two methods for saving parameters: saving to flash memory and
saving to an ASCII file.
Saving parameters to flash memory ensures that your user-defined configuration
remains intact if power to the IPS master is temporarily interrupted. After you
change parameters via the configuration menus, the IPS prompts you to save
parameters before exiting from command mode. At this point, the IPS offers the
options to save parameters to flash, continue without saving, or revert to the
previously saved parameters.
Saving parameters to an ASCII file allows you to create a backup of your currently
defined configuration. As described in
Chapter 7
, this provides quick recovery if
the IPS is accidentally reset to default parameters, and also allows you to copy
parameters to other IPSs when several masters need to be configured with the
same parameters.
NOTES
After new parameters are applied, the IPS displays a Save prompt. In the
Web browser interface, this prompt appears when you leave the
configuration menus. In the text interface, the Save prompt appears
when you disconnect from the IPS. At this point, you can save new
parameters to flash memory, continue without saving, or revert to
previously saved parameters.
If parameters are not saved and power to the master is interrupted,
newly defined parameters are lost. When power is restored, the IPS is
then configured with the previously saved parameters.
