Web Server

Web Server

You can change your service port number to a suitable one to fit your network environment. The default Web Manager port number is 80. We suggest you use the port number larger than 1024, so that the new port number will not be in conflict with other services.

After changing the port number, you have to add the port number to the URL to connect to Web Manager. (e.g. http://172.16.0.100:8080)

Note

The maximum port number is 65535.
