HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol used by a web
browser to establish communication between a client computer and the meter’s
web server.
You can view the meter’s webpages by entering the meter’s IP address on a web
browser.
HTTP is not a secure communications protocol. To reduce the risk of security
threats and help prevent unauthorized access to the meter and the network,
configure the meter to always use HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure).
The meter uses Ethernet port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS.
HTTPS
HTTPS uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to secure the
communications channel and protect exchanged data between the client and the
server. When configured to use HTTPS, the meter uses the self-signed certificate
installed on its webserver.
Changing HTTP protocol using ION Setup
You can change the protocol setting for accessing the meter webpages.
It is recommended to use
HTTPS
or
HTTPS with HTTP redirect
to avoid
compromising the security of your local network.
1. Start ION Setup.
