Chapter 6. Administration of the Telecommuting Module

This is the IP address and port which should be entered in your web browser to connect to the Telecommuting Module.

Configuration via HTTP

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTP is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP and HTTPS configuration.

Configuration via HTTPS

Select which IP address and port the Telecommuting Module administrator should direct her web browser to when HTTPS is used for Telecommuting Module configuration. You can select from the Telecommuting Module IP addresses configured on the Interface pages under Network.

You can use different IP addresses for HTTP and HTTPS configuration.

You also need to select a TLS certificate, which works as an ID card, identifying the Telecommuting Module to your web browser. This will ensure that you are really communicating with your Telecommuting Module and not somebody else’s computer. TLS uses an encryption method using two keys, one secret and one public. The secret key is kept in the Telecommuting Module and the public key is used in the certificate. If any of the keys is changed, the TLS connection won’t work.

The certificate is created on the Certificates page.

Configuration Computers

Enter the IP address or addresses that can configure the Telecommuting Module. The IP addresses can belong to one or more computers.

Note that you must also allow configuration via the Telecommuting Module interface that the computers are connected to. See Configuration Allowed Via Interface above.

DNS Name Or Network Address

Enter the DNS name or IP address of the computer or network from which the Telecommuting Module can be configured. Avoid allowing configuration from a network or computer on the Internet or other insecure networks, or use HTTPS or VPN to connect to the Telecommuting Module from these insecure networks.
