Configuring with Web Based Management

6.1

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 wish to access WBM only via a secure
connection, activate only the HTTPS server under "System > Configuration".
Requirements
WBM display
● The device has an IP address
● There is a connection between the device and the client device. With the Windows ping
command, you can check whether or not a connection exists.
● Access via HTTPS is enabled.
● JavaScript is activated in the Web browser.
