Reset delay
"Reset delay" is used to specify the time that the outlet shall be switched of at the reset sequence, when
clicking at the reset buttons at the web page "reset.htm".
Usually the computer shall have a small delay before being switched on again. A reasonable time may be
10secons.
Admin and User login
Here you specify user names for admin and users. The passwords is also specified.
By leaving the password empty no password is required for the user.
If you leave the username empty it is not possible to log in as user. But if rights are configured for not logged
in users the box can be controlled anyway. That is the default configuration.
NOTE! If the name for “admin” is left empty you can not do any more changes of the configuration unless
you restore the default configuration. Read more about it in “Restoring default configuration” in paragraph 8.
The letters A-Z, a-z and 0-9 may be used.
Unauthorized rights
The rights for users not logged in can be set to:
no – no read or write rights. The button is all white.
r/o - read only. Present status is displayed with a grayed ON/OFF button. It is not possible to switch the
output.
r/w - read/write. Present status is displayed with normal white ON/OFF button. The output can be switched.
RARP / BOOTP
.
By setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 the IP-address is allocated by RARP. With 0.0.0.1 BOOTP are used. With
0.0.0.2 both RARP and BOOT is tried.
By setting the IP address to 0.0.0.3 the IP-address is set to the IP address of the first message to the MAC
address of the box. This is known as “the arp-ping method” or “IP gleaning”.
This can be used for setting the IP-address with ping. This is the default setting
Security methods.
You can chose between Basic and Digest authorization. Both according to RFC2617.
Basic authorization works with "all" browsers.
Digest authorization works with newer Microsoft Explorer. In digest mode you have to log in again after 10
minutes.
Both basic and digest gives a good protection against someone operation IP-SwitchPlug by mistake.
Basic gives not much protection against a hacker with access to the network and with evil in mind.
Digest gives a very good protection, note though some safety risks mentioned in the security section.
After you have made your choices click “apply changes” to save them.
