With LANconfig, all device actions are conducted using the TFTP protocol. Since this protocol has disadvantages compared to other protocols when transmitting large volumes of data, the protocols HTTPS and HTTP can also be used as alternatives.
The use of the protocols can be set either globally for all devices managed by a LANconfig or specifically for each individual device. The global settings overwrite the specific settings here – therefore, in the specific device settings, only the settings allowed in the global configuration can take effect.
