enabled. If you disable it, any current connections using that protocol are

access is enabled. If you disable it, any current connections using that
protocol are disconnected.
• HTTPS Port—The logical port number to use for HTTP connections, from
1025 to 65535. The default port number for HTTP connections is the well-

on the HTTP port to the HTTPS port. This field is available only when HTTP
access is disabled.

Managing SSL Certificates
To use HTTPS services, the WAP device must have a valid SSL certificate. The
WAP device can generate a certificate or you can download it from your network

To generate the certificate with the WAP device, click Generate SSL Certificate.
This should be done after the WAP device has acquired an IP address to ensure
that the common name for the certificate matches the IP address of the WAP
device. Generating a new SSL certificate restarts the secure web server. The
secure connection does not work until the new certificate is accepted on the
browser.
In the Certificate File Status area, you can view whether a certificate currently
exists on the WAP device, and view this information about it:
