# Configure services for AltoReach device

To configure services for the AltoReach device:

1. Log into the AltoReach device as described in [Connect to the AltoReach device](https://support.altowav.com/connect-to-the-altoreach-device.html?hsLang=en-us).
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).
     3. (Optional) Type a new port number for the encrypted **HTTPS port**.
     4. Any changes to the HTTP server section require a restart of the device's web server. Click **Restart webserver**.
4. **Network Time Protocol (NTP)** is enabled by default. 
     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](https://support.altowav.com/tools.html?hsLang=en-us) 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.
     5. Click **Start advanced wireless logging** to begin verbose logging to the remote server. This option is only avaiable when **Remote syslog** is enabled and running, and will be disabled when the AltoReach device is rebooted.
7. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server is disabled by default. Toggle on to enable. 
     1. By default, the value for the sysUpTime object is the amount of time that the SNMP server has been up. **Use Hardware update value** will use the device uptime, rather than the SNMP server uptime, for sysUpTime.
     2. For **Protocol**, select the SNMP protocol to use.
     3. For **Community**, type the name of the SNMP community to use.
8. **SNMP Traps** are used to send alerts to a remote SNMP server that an event has occured. 
     1. Toggle on to enable.
     2. For **Server address**, type the hostname or IP address of the SNMP server.
     3. For **User**, type the username required to send the trap. This field must have a value, so if no username is required, type any value in this field.
     4. For **Protocol**, select the SNMP protocol.
9. **Ping watchdog** allows you to send a ping requests to a specified IP address. If the ping request fails the configured number of times, the AltoReach device will reboot. 
     1. Toggle on enable.
     2. For **Ping interval (s)**, type the number of seconds that the AltoReach device should wait between sending ping requests.
     3. For **Startup delay (s)**, type the number of seconds that the AltoReach device should wait before sending the first ping request.
     4. For **Failure count**, type the number of consecutive ping request failures that will trigger the AltoReach device to reboot.
     5. For **IP address(es) to ping**, type up to two IP addresses.
