Web Interface Settings Screen
On the navigation tree, click IN-tactSetup > System Setup > Web Interface. The Web Interface Settings screen appears:
You have the option of restricting access to the IN-tact1101 web server to a specific IP address (or range of addresses). This is useful in preventing unauthorized access attempts on the device from IP addresses outside your normal range of operation.
You can also disable or change the value of the timeout feature associated with the web interface. This is a security feature. By default, the web session automatically expires after five minutes of no activity. The user is logged out. Any changes made to that point are discarded, unless Apply and Restart has been used to commit the changes to persistent memory. However, there may be situations in which you want to disable the timeout completely, or set it to a different value. For example, a direct "always on" connection to the web server, or while working with or configuring the device.
The IN-tact1101 automatically logs you out of the web server interface when you close the browser window. However, if the web session timeout feature is disabled, the session remains open. For example, if you browse to other sites while configuring the IN-tact1101, it may appear that another session is already in progress when you return to the IN-tact's address.
It is important to understand that only one user may be logged in to the IN-tact1101 web server interface at any given time. For example, assume that User 1 has already logged in and has a session in progress. When User 2 attempts to log in, the IN-tactLogin screen displays with a red message stating "Another user is logged in. If you continue, their session will expire immediately." If User 2 continues to enter the password and log in at this point, User 1 is logged off and that session is closed. A new session is started for User 2. User 1 will see a message
