3.3.1
Access
Settings
The Access Settings menu item allows you to change how the unit’s Web UI is accessed, either by HTTP, HTTPS
or HTTPS/redirect. You can also change the passwords used to access the Web User Interface. For security
purposes, it is recommended that the admin password be changed according to your internal policies.
Click on the
Access Settings
menu item and the following window appears.
Unit’s Name:
Enter a description to identify the unit. This field is not required to support functionality. It is only
for unit identification. This information appears on the Summary screen when logging into the device.
Note:
Maximum length of this field is 32 and supported characters are alphanumeric plus the following special
characters.: + -._
Recommended Setting
: Optional
Web Access Method:
Select the method you would like to use to access the Web UI. You do not need to enter
the password in order to change the access method. Use the HTTPS/Redirect option if you are currently using
the HTTP method and want to redirect existing users to the new HTTPS port.
Note:
The HTTP method can result in better performance and faster page load time; however, it is less
secure than the HTTPS or HTTPS/redirect methods, which use data encryption to provide a
secure connection.
