Services Settings HTTP Settings Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the transport protocol for communicating hypertext documents on the Internet. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted. It also defines the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to different commands. HTTP Authentication enables the requirement of usernames and passwords for access to the device.
6: Services Settings HTTP Access Description Control Settings (continued) Auth Type Select the authentication type: None: no authentication is necessary. Basic: encodes passwords using Base64. Users Displays the username allowed to access the configured URI. To Configure HTTP Access Control Using Web Manager To configure HTTP Access Control, click HTTP in the menu and select Access Control.
Maintenance and Diagnostics Settings Filesystem Settings Use the Filesystem to view Statistics. A user may also compact or format the Filesystem. The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server uses an EXT3 flash file system to store files. This is a journalled file system, which means that changes to the file system are recorded before the actual changes themselves are made.
7: Maintenance and Diagnostics Settings System Management Table 7-2 Management Settings System Settings Description Reboots the device. When rebooted, your browser should be refreshed and Reboot (button) redirected to the main status page after 30 seconds. Note: The redirect will not work as expected if the IP address of the devices changes after reboot.
Advanced Settings XML Import and XML Export The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server allows for the configuration of devices by using XML configuration records (XCRs). You can export an existing configuration for use on other xPico Wi- Fi devices or import a saved configuration file. Note: The xPico Wi-Fi module itself only supports serial TTL signaling on both Lines.
