Web Server

Web Server

The AP can be managed through HTTP or secure HTTP (HTTPS) sessions. By default both HTTP and HTTPS access are enabled. Either access type can be disabled separately.

Field

Description

HTTPS Server Status

Enable or disable access through a Secure HTTP Server (HTTPS).

HTTP Server Status

Enable or disable access through HTTP. This setting is independent of the HTTPS server status setting.

HTTP Port

Specify the port number for HTTP traffic (default is 80).

Maximum Sessions

Specify the maximum number of HTTP and HTTPS connections permitted to the access point Web server that are allowed at the same time. The permitted range is 1-10. The number you enter affects the number of connections to the Access Point Configuration Utility. It has no impact on the number of wireless clients allowed to associate with the AP.

Session Timeout

Enter the number of minutes a HTTP or HTTPS session must remain idle before the session is terminated. The valid range is 1-1440 minutes (24 hours).

Generate SSL Certificate

Select this option to generate a new SSL certificate for the secure Web server. This should be done once the access point has an IP address to ensure that the common name for the certificate matches the IP address of the Access Point. Generating a new SSL certificate will restart the secure Web server. The secure connection will not work until the new certificate is accepted on the browser.

Note: Click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. If you disable the protocol you are currently using to access the AP management interface, the current connection will end and you will not be able to access the AP by using that protocol until it is enabled.
