Configuring the HTTP Server

The following procedures explain how to enable and disable the HTTP
server. You may use the server to manage the access point with your web
browser on your computer. The HTTP server is a non-secure
management method. The packets exchanged between your web browser
and the access point are sent in clear text, leaving them vulnerable to
snooping. For secure remote management, use HTTPS instead, as
explained in “Configuring the HTTPS Server” on page 153.

The default setting for the HTTP server is enabled.

Enabling the

HTTP Server

To activate the HTTP server, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Services menu, select HTTP/HTTPS.

The access point displays the “Configure Web Server Settings”
window. Refer to Figure 47.

2. Click the Enabled dialog circle for the HTTP Server Status field.

3. To change the HTTP port number, select the HTTP Port field and enter

the new value. The default is port 80.

4. Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the

access point.

The HTTP server is now active on the access point. You may now
manage the access point using your web browser and HTTP.
