HTTP Configuration Fields

Field Description
HTTP Admin Mode Enables or disables the Administrative Mode of HTTP. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed. The default value is Enable. If you disable the HTTP admin mode, access to the web interface is limited to secure HTTP, which is disabled by default.
Java Mode Enables or disables the web Java Mode. This applies to both secure and un-secure HTTP connections. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed. The default value is Enable.
HTTP Port The TCP port number on which the HTTP server listens for requests. Existing HTTP login sessions are closed whenever this value is changed. All new HTTP sessions must use the new port number.
Note: Before changing this value, verify that the desired port number is not currently being used by any other service.
HTTP Session Soft Timeout Sets the inactivity timeout for HTTP sessions. The value must be in the range of 1 to 60 minutes. A value of zero corresponds to an infinite timeout. The default value is 5 minutes. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed.
HTTP Session Hard Timeout This field is used to set the hard timeout for HTTP sessions. This timeout is unaffected by the activity level of the session. The value must be in the range of 1 to 168 hours. A value of 0 corresponds to an infinite timeout. The default value is 24 hours. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed.
Maximum Number of HTTP Sessions Sets the maximum allowable number of HTTP sessions. The value must be in the range of 0 to 16. The default value is 16. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed.
