Configuring with Web Based Management
4.1
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 Admin 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.
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".
Requirements
WBM display
● The device has an IP address.
● There is a connection between the device and the Admin PC. With the Windows ping
command, you can check whether or not a connection exists. If the device has the factory
settings, refer to "Requirements for operation (Page 13)".
● Access using HTTP or HTTPS is enabled.
● JavaScript is activated in the Web browser.
● The Web browser must not be set so that it reloads the page from the server each time
the page is accessed. The updating of the dynamic content of the page is ensured by
other mechanisms.
In the Internet Explorer, you can make the appropriate setting in the "Options > Internet
Options > General" menu in the section "Browsing history" with the "Settings" button.
Check whether "Automatically" is enabled for "Check for newer versions of stored pages".
