Running the Web
Server
The Web Server is used to remotely configure and monitor the
ProFlex 800. Using the Web Server is fully described in Using
the Web Server on page 41. Below are a few key instructions
on how to use the Web Server:
• The $PASHS,WEB,PAR command controls locally the
availability of the Web Server for a remote user or
administrator. Only the receiver owner can run this
command locally.
• Access to the ProFlex Web Server is protected. A
connection profile (login + password) is needed to run the
Web Server. Full access (read/write) is given to the
administrator. Read-only access is given to all user
profiles.
• Use a web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, etc.) to launch the Web Server. Enter the IP
address or host name of the ProFlex 800 in the Address
box of the web browser. The different web pages of the
Web Server, which are all html pages, can then be seen in
the web browser window.
• The ProFlex 800 will keep operating normally with one or
more active connections to the Web Server.
• Up to five users + the administrator can be connected
simultaneously without affecting the operation of the
receiver.
Connection to a
Remote FTP Server
The Ethernet port can be used both for downloading and
installing a new firmware upgrade from the specified FTP
server, and also for uploading raw data files collected by the
receiver to the specified FTP server, which may be different
from the previous one. Below are a few key instructions on
how to use this application:
• In this type of connection, the ProFlex 800 is always the
client.
• Entering the identification of the FTP server from which to
download firmware upgrades is accomplished using the
$PASHS,UPL,PAR command.
• Installing an upgrade is done through the
$PASHS,UPL,UPG command.
• Entering the identification of the FTP server where to
upload raw data files is accomplished using the
$PASHS,FTP,PAR command.
