HTTP or HTTPS?
TopView can send HTTP or HTTPS commands to the cellular modem.
We recommend using HTTPS
. Newer versions of the modem firmware (5.0 and later) have removed the
“enable HTTP” settings available in earlier versions of the firmware. If you are using an earlier version of
the firmware that allows HTTP, upgrading to later versions may persist “enable HTTP” while also
removing your ability to change this setting. Therefore we recommend all users configure the modem
for HTTPS access only.
HTTP
Note: we recommend using HTTPS instead of HTTP. Some of the HTTP settings in this section are only
available in earlier versions of the firmware and are removed in later firmware versions.
If you are using a version of the firmware that supports HTTP (before v5) and still desire to use HTTP
instead of HTTPS:
ADMINISTRATION > ACCESS CONFIGURATION
•
Check “HTTP…En
abled if not already checked (not available in v5 firmware)
•
Uncheck “HTTP…Redirect to HTTPS
•
Click [Submit] to save changes
SAVE AND RESTART
> then click [OK] to restart the cellular modem
