Configuring the HTTP Server

Enabling the HTTP Server

The following procedures explain how to enable and disable the HTTP server. You may use the server to manage the access point with your web browser on your computer. The HTTP server is a non-secure management method. The packets exchanged between your web browser and the access point are sent in clear text, leaving them vulnerable to snooping. For secure remote management, use HTTPS instead, as explained in “Configuring the HTTPS Server” on page 147.

The default setting for the HTTP server is enabled.

To activate the HTTP server, perform the following procedure:

1.From the Services menu, select HTTP/HTTPS.

The access point displays the “Configure Web Server Settings” window. Refer to Figure 45.

Figure 45. Configure Web Server Settings Window

2.Click the Enabled dialog circle for the HTTP Server Status field.

3.To change the HTTP port number, select the HTTP Port field and enter the new value. The default is port 80.

4.Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the access point.

The HTTP server is now active on the access point. You may now manage the access point using your web browser and HTTP.
