Language
Use this setting to specify the Language to use on the selected Skin. The menu shows all Languages available for the selected Skin.
Require Fixed Network Address
Select this option to enable the Network Address security check. When this option is enabled, the Server remembers the Network Address you logged in from, and then all HTTP requests to the established WebUser Interface session must come from the same Network Address, otherwise requests are rejected.
Note: Do NOT select this option if you plan to connect from the AOL network or other networks that use outgoing HTTP proxies.
Note: You can disable the Network Address security check when you login.
Use Cookies
Select this option to enable HTTP "cookie"-based security check. When this option is enabled, some "cookie" information is sent to your browser when you login, and the browser resends that information back to the CommuniGate Pro server every time you access a WebUser Interface session page. Other browsers cannot access your WebUser Interface session even if they connect from the same Network Address, as they do not posses the proper "cookie" information.
Note: Do NOT select this option if you plan to use browsers that do not support "cookies".
Note: You can disable the "cookie" security check when you login.
Time Zone
Use this setting to select the time zone you are working in. The WebUser Interface will use the select time zone to show the date and time values. Select the *** value to use the Server OS time zone.
