Basic Configuration

HTTPS Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for HTTPS

connections. (Default = 443.)

Notes:

• In the Text Interface, HTTP and HTTPS parameters reside in a separate

submenu. To enable and configure HTTP and HTTPS Access via the
Text Interface, access the Network Configuration Menu as described in
Section 5.9, then type

23, press [Enter] and use the resulting submenu

(Figure 14.1) to select parameters as described in Section 14.

• When the Web Access parameter is accessed via the Text Interface, the

resulting submenu will also allow you to select SSL (encryption) parameters
as described in Section 14.

Harden Web Security: When the Harden Web Security feature is On (default,) only

the high and medium cypher suites for SSLv3 and TLSv1 will be enabled. When
the Harden Web Security feature is Off, all SSL protocols will be enabled, allowing
compatibility with older browsers. Note that in the Text Interface, this option is
enabled/disabled via the Web Access submenu. (Default = On.)

SYSLOG Address: The IP Address or domain name (up to 64 characters) for the

Syslog Daemon that will receive log records generated by the AFS-16. For more
information, please refer to Section 11. (Default = undefined.)

Ping Access: Enables/Disables response to the ping command. When Disabled,

the AFS-16 will not respond to Ping commands. Note that disabling Ping Access at
the Network Port will not effect the operation of the Ping-No-Access Alarm.
(Default = On.)

Outbound Access: Enables/Disables the ability to create outbound Telnet and/

or SSH connections via the AFS-16 Network Port. When enabled, users who
are connected to the AFS-16 command mode via the RS232 Serial Port will be
able to connect to the Network Port, and then invoke the /TELNET and/or /SSH
commands to create an outbound connection. For example, to create an outbound
Telnet connection, first make certain that this option is enabled for both the RS232
Serial Port and the password/account, then access command mode via the Text
Interface at the RS232 Port. At the AFS> prompt, invoke the /TELNET command as
described in Section 10.3. (Default = Off.)
