Web Access Management Setup

Step 1. Log in to the Phone Adapter Configuration Utility and choose Administration > Management > Web Access Management. The Web Access Management page opens:

Step 2. Click the Enabled radio button to enable web access management to the administrator in the Admin Access field. This allows the administrator to access the interface remotely and change the configuration.

Step 3. Click the HTTP radio button, HTTPS radio button, or both radio buttons to allow that the administrator enter to the Phone Adapter Configuration Utility through the use of the desired protocol.

• HTTP — Click the HTTP radio button in the case that the administrator only wants a standard access. HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to access information and distribute it through the internet using the connection that the server and the host establish

• HTTPS — Click the HTTPS radio button In the case that the administrator wants an enhanced security access. HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) also is used to access and distribute information through internet but with the advantage of a security layer.

Step 4. Enter the desired port number for remote management in the Remote Management Port field. This is the port number that will follow the address for remote management. The default is 80.

Step 5. Click Submit to save the settings.
