U Configuration of the global communication settings
When setting up the communications protocols, one must differentiate be-
tween the protocol that is used solely for checking the device and for other
operations such as a firmware upload, etc.:
D HTTPS, HTTP, TFPT
When this is selected, the individual protocols are enabled for the opera-
tions firmware upload, configuration up/download, and script up/down-
load. In these operations, LANconfig attempts to use these protocols in
the order HTTPS, HTTP and TFTP. If the transfer fails when using a
selected protocol, then the next protocol is automatically attempted.
D Prefer checks via TFTP
When checking the devices, only small amounts of data are transferred
with the system information. As such, device checks could be performed
using the TFTP protocol, particularly in the LAN. When this option is acti-
vated, the TFTP protocol is used to check the device first, regardless of
the previously set communications protocols. If the check via TFTP fails,
then the protocols HTTPS, HTTP and TFTP are attempted in that order.
Caution: The device-specific settings are subordinate to the global com-
munications settings. This allows, for example, the use of a protocol to be
restricted centrally.
