NOTE: The device

list of MapIDs as they
are created and deleted,
thus MapID 2 becomes
MapID 1 when the default

deleted.

Firewall Configuration
Absent a firewall, outside clients would be able to connect to services
on the web server and possibly gain access to sensitive data—on port
80 using HTTP to access non-sensitive data, on port 443 using
HTTPS to access sensitive data, and on port 81 using HTTP to access
that same sensitive data. Obviously, allowing access to sensitive data
over an unencrypted connection on port 81 is not desirable.
Consequently a firewall should be configured to prevent such access.
NOTE: In this
configuration, the
firewall may occasionally
report the blocking of
outbound packets from
the Server on port 81.
This is normal—a side-
effect of the varying
latencies characteristic of
Internet traffic—and does
not indicate a problem
with the configuration
