Disabling the
HTTP Server
The following procedure explains how to disable the HTTP server on the access point. Please review the following guidelines before performing the procedure:
If you disable the HTTP server while managing the access point with HTTP, your management session is interrupted. To continue managing the unit, you may use either HTTPS or SNMP.
If the maximum number of active sessions is set to 1, the default value. you may have to wait until the inactive session timer times out before starting an HTTPS session. The default is five minutes. The maximum number of active sessions does not apply to SNMP.
If you disable HTTP without configuring HTTPS or SNMP, you cannot manage the access point. Your only alternative is to return the device to its default settings with the Reset button on the back panel.
To disable the HTTP server, perform this procedure:
1.From the Services menu, select HTTP/HTTPS.
The access point displays the “Configure Web Server Settings” window. Refer to Figure 45 on page 145.
2.Click the Disabled dialog circle for the HTTP Server Status field. The following prompt is displayed.
