Web Front-end
The web front-end can be used to read out MECip-Sec´s actual device settings (HTTP port, IP
address, MAC address, ...), to update the firmware and to set (additional) Individual Addresses
for Tunneling. For identifying a certain MECip-Sec in a KNX network, Programming Mode can
be remotely switched on and off without having to press the on-device Programming Button.
To switch back from boot mode to normal operation it is necessary to run the firmware
update procedure, then press abort, or wait for the 10 min timeout.

Protection of the MECip-Sec Web Front-end
The web front-end can be used for remotely carrying out firmware updates, control functions
and readout device settings. To raise protection for an installation, the web front-end
availability is configurable. The highest degree is reached, when "not available" is set for
normal runtime operation.
To use the remote functions of the web front-end, also when Security is active, it must be set
to "available having full functionality".
Figure 19: ETS Parameter for Web Front-End Availability
When the web front-end is set to "only status info display", remote control functions
(Programming Mode activation, Set Tunneling) and the update function are off. Changing
settings or parameters via IP is not possible, and only the informational readout is available.
To ensure full protection of a secured installation, the web front-end availability must
be set to "web front-end not available" (default value).
For reasons of efficient protection, it is strictly recommended not to use the "available
having full functionality" option on a permanent basis.
