If the Bridge configuration that was set at the factory does not meet your
network requirements, or if you want to customize the settings, you can
use these tools to change the configuration:
Using Secure Web
Server Connection The Bridge can be configured using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology,
which is used to encrypt data exchanged between the computer and the
Bridge during a configuration session.
Without SSL enabled, data is exchanged in the form of plain text and can
be intercepted during the configuration session.
You must enable the HTTPS option to establish a secure session.
See “Web GUI Protocol” in Table 9 on page 30 for instructions.
