Web Interface 35
© 2015 Geist GM1157 - GU PDU Instruction Manual
HTTP Interface: Enables/disables access via HTTP. HTTPS interface will always
be enabled. Available options are: Enabled or Disabled. It is not possible to disable
the web interface completely.
HTTP/HTTPS Server Port: Allows you to change the TCP ports which the HTTP
and HTTPS services listen to for incoming connections. The defaults are port 80 for
HTTP, and 443 for HTTPS.
Note that any changes you make to the Network settings will take effect instantly once
the Save button is clicked! If you have changed the IP address or HTTP/HTTPS
ports, it will appear as if the unit is no longer responding because the browser will not
be able to reload the web page. Just stop or close the browser window, then type in
the new IP address into the browser's address bar, and the unit will be accessible.
4.2.3 Email
The unit is capable of sending e-mail notifications to up to five e-mail addresses when
an Alarm or Warning Event occurs.
To send e-mails, the unit must be configured to access the mail server, as follows:
SMTP Server: the name or IP address of a suitable SMTP or ESMTP server.
Port: the TCP port which the SMTP Server uses to provide mail services. (Typical
values would be port 25 for an unencrypted connection, or 465 for a TLS/SSL-
encrypted connection, but these may vary depending on the mail server's
configuration.)
Enable SSL: If Enabled, the unit will attempt to connect to the server using a fully-
encrypted TLS/SSL connection. Note that only fully-encrypted sessions are
supported; the "Start-TLS" method, where the session starts out as unencrypted
and then switches to encrypted partway through the session, is not supported.
"From" Email Address: the address which the unit's e-mails should appear to
come from. Note that many hosted e-mail services, such as Gmail, will require this
to be the e-mail account of a valid user.
Username and Password: the login credentials for the e-mail server. If your server
does not require authentication (open relay), these can be left blank.
Microsoft Exchange servers will have to be set to allow SMTP relay from the IP
