Enable Web server

Set this option to allow Web access to the i.LON 600. This option is enabled by
default. The i.LON 600 must be rebooted before this option will take affect.
Note: If you disable this option, you will not be able to access the i.LON 600
Web pages after a reset. If you need to reenable Web access, you can reset
this option by performing a security access reset, as described above.

Enable access to this
page without Security
Access

If checked, this option allows you access to the security page without first
requiring a security access reset. WARNING: Using this option greatly reduces
the i.LON 600 security.

MD5 Authentication

You can specify a 16 HEX pair authentication key for all devices on your network. When
authentication is enabled and the i.LON 600 prepares to send an IP packet, the i.LON 600
uses the authentication key and the public MD5 algorithm to compute a digest over each
L

ORKS

packet in the UDP payload. All authentication keys within a single network

must match.

To reset a lost authentication key, you must obtain physical access to the device and reset
the key through the setup Web page or the device’s serial port. See the MD5
Authentication
section Chapter 8 for more information on setting up this feature.

Note: If you are using authentication, you must use an SNTP server. If you lose
communication with your i.LON 600, you may need to perform a factory default or use
the console application and manually select a different SNTP server.
