This option controls whether the web management interface is enabled. There
are two protocols available for web server connection:
HTTP—Sends data unencrypted over the network.
HTTPS—Uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt information
between the access point and the web browser.
By default, both protocols are enabled.
Note: To make a secure connection to the access point using HTTPS, you must
specify

configuration.
HTTP Server—Enable or disable the HTTP protocol, allowing connection to
the access point management interface using unencrypted HTTP.
HTTP Port—If HTTP Server is enabled, enter the HTTP port number. This
parameter determines the port number where the web server accepts HTTP
connections. The default is 80. If you enter a number other than 80, you must

parameter determines the port number where the web server accepts HTTPS
connections. The default is 443. If you enter a number other than 443, you
must also specify the port number in the browser window address pane (for
example, https://ipaddress:portnumber). This number can be set between

Optionally, the access point may be configured to PING a target on the network
to validate the Ethernet link.
