Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) To restrict web access to secure, encrypted pages, select SSL. Click
Save and then Reboot when prompted. With SSL enabled, access the iPIO-8 using https://
To remove SSL, a hardware reset is required. After deselecting SSL, press the
recessed Reset pushbutton on the front panel, to the right of Input 8.
Port Settings The IP Setup page also allows for changing of the port assignment for both HTTP,
HTTPS and inter-iPIO protocols. Dataprobe recommends changing the Web port for units that will be
connected to the Internet. This will minimize the number of hacker attacks that the iPIO-8 will be
subject to. If a port other than the default Port 80 (or port 443 for SSL) is used for web browser access,
that port must specifically be used in the URL when accessing the iPIO-8. For example, if the Web
Port is changed to 9090 then the URL for the unit would be http://192.168.1.254:9090 or
https://192.168.0.254:9090 for SSL.
Default Port Assignments
Web: 80
SSL: 443
iPIO: 9100
AES Encryption Pairs of iPIOs can use 128 bit AES encryption to secure status and control messages.
To use AES, enter a AES Passphrase (up to 16 characters) and enable AES with the checkbox. Any
additional iPIO-8 that connects to this device will need to use the same Passphrase as set here. See
Remote Setup for entering the Passphrase of a remote iPIO-8.
Use DxP Username and Password. Older DxP supported devices do not use username and password
pairs in the protocol. Uncheck this to provide backward compatibility if the remote site units do not
support U/P pairs.
Connection Timeout. The CLI and web login will automatically log off the user if no activity is detected
for the period of time (in minutes) specified here. Set to 0 to allow unlimited timeouts, but be sure to log
out manually as unlimited timeout will prevent new users from logging in if the session is not closed
manually.

variety of events. Set the email server and
destination information on this page.
SMTP Server. Set the IP address of the
email (SMTP) server that will send the email
