The password and web user name is each seven characters maximum. The new password
is active only after restarting the device using the Reset button of the Embedded Web
Server. Otherwise, the old password is still active.
The user can reset the web password (to its default values) using an INI file parameter called
ResetWebPassword. The web password automatically returns to the default password. It is
recommended that the parameter be removed from the INI file, to preserve the updated
password after reset.
Security Preferences
Two security preferences can be configured using INI file parameters:
Read-only Mode (see
1
Disable/Enable Web Server (see
2
These parameters provide protection against unauthorized access such as Internet hacker
attacks, particularly to users without a firewall.
Read-Only Mode
The Embedded Web server can be initialized to read-only mode by setting the
DisableWebConfig = 1 INI file parameter (the default state is Read-Write).
In this mode, all the Web pages are presented in read-only mode. By selecting this mode,
you disable the capability to modify the configuration data. In addition, you do not have
access to the Change Password page and to the Reset page. When the device is controlled
through PCI, the Embedded Web Server is always in read-only mode.
Disable/Enable the Web Server
If you want to deny access to the device through HTTP protocol, the Embedded Web Server
task can be disabled. To disable the Web task, use the INI file parameter called
DisableWebTask. The default sets the Web task as enabled.
When the device is controlled through PCI, the Embedded Web Server is always activated.
You cannot disable the task in PCI mode.
Accessing the Embedded Web Server
To access the Embedded Web Server, follow these steps:
Open any standard Web-browsing application such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
1
(Version 5.0 and higher) or Netscape Navigator (Version 7.0 and higher).
Some javascript applications are not supported by Netscape.
