Multiple Requests at Once

You can include multiple key/value pairs in a single command by separating the statements with &.

For example, the key for product name is product_name and the key for firmware version is firmware_version.

To send a request for both the product name and the firmware version, use the following command:

http://

/admin/channel1/get_params.cgi?product_name&firmware_version

Or, to turnoff publishing (set to 0) and set the bitrate (vbitrate) to 256,000:

http://

/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_type=0&vbitrate=256K

Third party applications like wget

If you’re using a third party application like wget to send commands to the system, always include the admin

username and password when viewing or setting configuration items.

The syntax for wget commands is shown below. Specify your system’s IP address, password and the key(s) or

value(s) you wish to query. Note your system may require use of single quotes around the password to handle

special characters such as exclamation marks.
