e. HTTPS Port: Enter the HTTPS port number assigned to the NetWay8GL module by the network
administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 443.
Being encrypted and more secure, HTTPS is highly recommended for remote access.
f. Click the button labeled Submit Network Settings. A dialog box will display "New network settings
will take effect after the server is rebooted". Click OK.

DHCP:

a. After selecting DHCP in the IP Address Method field click the button labeled Submit Network Settings.
A dialog box will display "New network settings will take effect after the server is rebooted". Click OK.
Next, click on the button labeled Reboot Server. After rebooting the NetWay8GL will be set in the
DHCP mode. The IP address will be assigned by the router when the NetWay8GL is connected to the
network. It is recommended to have the assigned IP Address reserved to ensure continued access
(see the network administrator).
b. Subnet Mask: When operating in DHCP, the router will assign the subnet mask values.
c. Gateway: Enter the TCP/IP gateway of the network access point (router) being used.
d. HTTP Port: Enter the HTTP port number assigned to the NetWay8GL module by the network
administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 80. HTTP is not
encrypted and unsecure. Even though HTTP can be used for remote access, it is recommended primarily
for use with LAN connections.
Secure Network Setup (HTTPS):
In order to setup HTTPS for a Secure Network Connection, a Valid Certificate and Key must be used. Certificates
and Key should be in a ".PEM" format. Self Certifications should only be used for testing
purposes as no actual authentication is being performed. In a Self-Certified mode, the connection will still state
that it is unsecure. How to upload Certificate and Key to setup HTTPS:
1. Open Tab Labeled "Security"
2. Select Tab Labeled "Email/SSL"
3. Scroll to bottom under "SSL Settings"
4. Click "Select Certificate"
5. Browse and select valid Certificate to upload from server
6. Click "Select Key"
7. Browse and select valid Key to upload from server
8. Click "Submit Files"
Once the Certificate and Key is uploaded successfully you can proceed with setting up
HTTPS in Network Settings.
a. HTTPS Port: Enter the HTTPS port number assigned to the NetWay8GL module by the network
administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 443.
Being encrypted and more secure, HTTPS is highly recommended for remote access.

A dialog box will display "New network settings will take effect after the server is rebooted". Click OK.
