3CONFIGURING THE ETHERNET
ADAPTER
If the Ethernet Adapter configuration that was set at the factory does not
meet your network requirements, or if you want to customize the
settings, you can use these tools to change the configuration:
Using Secure Web
Server Connection
The Ethernet Adapter can be configured using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology, which is used to encrypt data exchanged between the
computer and the Ethernet Adapter during a configuration session.
Without SSL enabled, data is exchanged in the form of plain text and can
be intercepted during the configuration session.
You must enable the HTTPS option to establish a secure session.
See “Web GUI Protocol” in Table9 on page 32 for instructions.
