The control system must require authentication to access resources and must enable secure, encrypted communications. Authentication CommandsĬrestron has set high security standards for using the HTML5 Web XPanel feature on a control system. For more information, refer to Add or Remove HTML5 Web XPanel Support and Add XPanel to Custom (Non‑Template) Project. You will need to change the WebXPanel library configuration if you change the WebSocket port from the default value.

The securewebsocketport console command can change the default port number. A new service port is made available on the control system to support secure WebSocket communications that are supported in browsers and by the CH5 WebXPanel library. HTML5 Web XPanel is hosted in a web browser and, as a result, cannot communicate to the control system via TLS sockets like touch screens. For example, if the port was changed to 8443, the following example URL would change from '' to '‑template/index.html'. You must append the port to the URL to reference the project on the control system if the port was changed from the default. No parameter - Displays the current value.portnumber - Sets the desired port number (in decimal notation).The service port for the HTTPS protocol can be changed from the web standard (443) to another port number using the securewebport command.

HTML5 XPanel requires the use of the HTTPS protocol on the control system. NOTE: Ensure that the control system is running the minimum required firmware version or higher as described in Dependencies.
