MonitorMagic WebService HTTP configuration:
To enable the MonitorMagic service over HTTP check the bo,x in the figure above, next to
"Enabled." Now decide what port number you want the MonitorMagic web service to listen for
connections on. The default is 81. Before you choose a port number different from 81 check the
Internet for commonly used port numbers.
The option "Ask for Windows 2000/NT username and password" is not mandatory but it is
recommended that you use it. It gives you an extra layer of security. By choosing the "Ask for
Windows 2000/NT username and password" option you are forcing users of the MonitorMagic
web interface to enter the username and password they use to logon to Windows NT. Just
because a user correctly enters his/her username and password doesn't mean that they will be
able to use the MonitorMagic web interface. The user must have read-only or manage rights
which are specified in the Access rights tab, seen on the figure above. If a user logs into the
MonitorMagic WebService and has no access rights, or their access rights are unspecified, they
will not see any domains listed on the left hand side of the interface. If you do not specify this
option,any user connecting will have read-only access.
Port numbers:
Every piece of software or hardware that uses TCP/IP (transfer control protocol/Internet protocol)
connects to its' destination target via a port number. There are 65,535 TCP/IP ports and you can
use a web browser to connect to the MonitorMagic WebService on almost any one you desire.
The two stipulations are that the MonitorMagic WebService must be listening on the same port
number that you're connecting to, and you can't use a port number that is in use by something
else. For example SMTP email is sent over port 25 and pop3 email is received over port 110.
Check the Internet for a listing of commonly used ports.
