Chapter 6

Making Changes via the HTTP Interface

To make changes to settings, use a standard keyboard and mouse to enter new

information. Select the

[Submit] button to send changes from the web browser

to the bridge. Changes will not take effect until the next time the bridge

reboots. The unit can be forced to reboot by selecting the

[Reboot] option from

the Main menu.

Detailed instructions about all settings are provided later in this chapter.

Note Menus are not case sensitive. You can enter uppercase and lowercase

characters interchangeably.

Note It is recommended not to bookmark HTTP interface pages with a Web

browser. Because configuration information is transmitted via URLs, it is

possible that the bridge could be configured with information present at

the time a page was bookmarked.

For similar reasons, it is also recommended not to use navigation

features of the Web browser (such as the BACK button) to navigate the

HTTP interface.

It is further recommended to navigate only using the Web page links

contained in the HTTP interface itself. Depending on the Web browser

used, these links will often appear as highlighted text. By clicking on the

these links, the HTTP interface can be safely navigated.

When the HTTP interface for the bridge is accessed, the bridge home page

appears as follows.
