Clear Allowed Host File?
The allowed host file prevents any unauthorized access to the WebMux Management
Console. If a workstation’s IP address is not in the allowed host file, that computer will not be
able to reach the WebMux management console through the network. However, sometimes a
wrong IP address is entered so that no computer can access the browser management console.
At that point, clearing the allowed host file will allow any browser to access it. By default,
the allowed host list is empty so that any IP address can access WebMux. We do encourage
adding only host IP addresses that you do allow to manage WebMux into the list. See
configuration through browser interface for more details.
Remake passwds?
This function is provided in case you have forgotten the passwords to access the
Management Console. Please use a browser to access Management Console for normal
password changes. The factory default password is the same as the login ID on the screen.
Answer Y to reset the Passwords to factory default. Answer N to leave them unchanged.
Enter Admin HTTP Port Number:
This is the http port number for accessing Management Console in non-secure mode. Any
unused port number can be used. Factory default port number is 24, one could choose to use
any unused port below 1024 or port number above 1024 for this. Using a port number above
1024 will require you to set up an “admin farm”. Basically, this is just a farm configured with
that port, without any servers in it. Creating the “admin farm” reserves that port for use to that
farm only and prevents port collision in case passive FTP is one of the other farms. Using
port number below 1024 will not require setting up an “admin farm.”
Enter Admin HTTPS Port Number:
This is the https port number for accessing Management Console in secure mode. Factory
default port number is 35, one could choose to use any unused port below 1024 or port
number above 1024 for this. Using a port number above 1024 will require you to set up an
“admin farm IP”. Basically, this is just a farm configured with that port, without any servers
in it. Creating the “admin farm IP” reserves that port for use to that farm only and prevents
