Note BBSM server web pages are accessed on port 9488 instead of the default web server port 80. This is
done by adding “:9488” after the BBSM server IP address or host name in the http request (for
example, http://10.10.10.50:9488/www). If you are on the inside BBSM network, you must activate
a session to get access to these pages.
