2. In the WebUI, click Configuration > Services.

   

3. By default, the WebUI for AltoReach devices allows unencrypted HTTP access. In the HTTP server section:
   1. To configure the device's web server to require encrypted traffic, toggle to enable Disable insecure HTTP.
   2. (Optional) Type a new port number for the unencrypted HTTP port (only available if Disable insecure HTTP is not enabled).

   1. Toggle off to disable.
   2. For Server addresses, type the hostname or IP address of the primary and secondary NTP servers to use. The defaults are time.google.com and time.cloudfare.com.
5. When Device discovery is enabled, the AltoReach device uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to discover other LLDP-enabled devices on its local network, and will also broadcast its own information to be discovered by other LLDP-enabled devices. See Device discovery for further information.
   1. Device discovery is enabled by default. Toggle off Enabled to disable.
   2. Discovery of nearby devices is enabled by default. Toggle off LLDP listener service to disable.
   3. Various protocols are used to broadcast device information. To disable, toggle off LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol), or MNDP (MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol).
6. Remote syslog can be used to send log messages to a remote logging server.
   1. Toggle on to enable.
   2. Select either TCP or UDP for the Protocol.
   3. For Server address, type the hostname or IP address of the server.
   4. For Port, type the port that the logging server listens on.
