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.
Access via HTTPS is enabled in the factory setting. With access via HTTP, the address is
automatically redirected to HTTPS.
If you wish to access the WBM via an HTTP connection, you need to select "HTTP & HTTPS"
for "HTTP Services" in "System > Configuration".
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 16)".
● Access via 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. Under
"Check for newer versions of stored pages:", select "Automatically".
