Note
The screens described in this section apply to the SCALANCE X-200RNA devices. The
screens of the SCALANCE X204RNA EEC were chosen to illustrate the examples. Any
significant deviations from the screens of the SCALANCE X204RNA are pointed out or

Principle of Web Based Management
The SCALANCE X-200RNA devices have an integrated HTTP server for Web Based
Management. If a SCALANCE X-200RNA is addressed using a Web browser, it returns
HTML pages to the client computer depending on the user input.
The user enters the configuration data in the HTML pages sent by the SCALANCE X-
200RNA. A SCALANCE X-200RNA evaluates this information and generates reply pages
dynamically. The great advantage of this method is that apart from a Web browser, no
special software is required on the client.
