Configuration access to the Com-Server
7�1 Configuration menu structure
The setup of the Com-Server is treelike regardless of whether
the configuration is used for a Telnet client or an Internet
browser. An overview of all the levels can be found in the fol-
lowing illustration.
Prior to configuration a valid IP address must have been
already assigned to the Com-Server (see “Assigning the IP
Address”). Access is then possible from virtually any computer
having network access and an installed TCP/IP protocol.
A detailed description of both configuration access types,
their conditions as well as the respective navigation within the
menu tree can be found in the following section.
1 HTTP protocol and its standard port 80 are fre
quent targets of Web attacks. In order not to impair
data throughput of the applications and of the Com-Server,
Web Based Management is therefore factory disabled. Ways of
activating this as part of the startup process can be found in
the section on Web Based Management.

If you exit the configu-
ration menu by closing
the Telnet connection
without first invoking
SAVE Setup, the ori-
ginal configuration is
retained.
