5.1
Web Based Management
How it works
The device has an integrated HTTP server for Web Based Management (WBM). If a device
is addressed with a Web browser, it returns HTML pages to the client PC depending on the
user input.
The user enters the configuration data in the HTML pages sent by the device. The device
evaluates this information and generates reply pages dynamically.
The advantage of this method is that only a Web browser is required on the client.
Note
Secure connection
WBM also allows you to establish a secure connection via HTTPS.
Use HTTPS for protected data transmission. If you want to access WBM only via a secure
connection, under "System > Configuration" enable the option "HTTPS Server only".
