HTTPS Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| HTTPS Admin Mode | Enables or disables the HTTPS administrative mode. When this mode is enabled, the device can be accessed through a web browser using the HTTPS protocol. |
| TLS Version 1 | Enables or disables TLS version 1.0. When this option is enabled, communication between the web browser on the administrative system and the web server on the device is sent through TLS 1.0. |
| SSL Version 3 | Enables or disables SSL (Secure Socket Layer) version 3.0. When this option is enabled, communication between the web browser on the administrative system and the web server on the device is sent through SSL 3.0. SSL must be administratively disabled while downloading an SSL certificate file from a remote server to the device. |
| HTTPS Port | The TCP port number that HTTPS uses. |
| HTTPS Session Soft Time Out (Minutes) | HTTPS session inactivity timeout value. A logged-in user that does not exhibit any HTTPS activity for this amount of time is automatically logged out of the HTTPS session. |
| HTTPS Session Hard Time Out (Hours) | HTTPS session hard timeout value. A user connected to the device via an HTTPS session is automatically logged out after this amount of time regardless of the amount of HTTPS activity that occurs. |
| Maximum Number of HTTPS Sessions | The maximum number of HTTPS sessions that can be connected to the device simultaneously. |
| Certificate Status | The status of the SSL certificate generation process.
