Configuration
The following sections explain the how you can configure Illustra Flex cameras using the Web User
Interface.
Security Mode Profiles for First Time Connection
The Illustra Flex cameras have features that allow for operation in a Standard Security mode or in an
Enhanced Security mode.
The Enhanced Security mode of operation is used to control changes to the camera communication
protocols HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SMTP. When the camera is in Enhanced Security mode, you
require a complex seven character Administrator password to make changes to these protocols.
Refer to Summary of Security Modes on page 84 for further information regarding the differences
between Standard and Enhanced Security modes.
