4.0 Web Interface
Overview
The DSM3 Series Communications Module provides an embedded Web server interface to allow operations
personnel the ability to connect locally or remotely via TCP/IP over Ethernet with a laptop/computer to verify the
status of common data points and to configure various operating parameters.
4.1 Local Web Server Access
The DSM3 Series Communications Module’s Ethernet port (comparable to the Craft port on some
Communications Module models) will typically be used as a local connection point allowing the user to
connect directly to the DSM3 Series Web server interface to verify/configure common communication
parameters and view power supply status and battery values. The Ethernet port on the DSM3 Series is a
fully functional standard Ethernet port, capable of providing all the functionality of any standard Ethernet
connection.
To access the DSM3 Series Communications Module Web server locally utilizing a Web browser, use the
following procedure:
