Multiple requests
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 .
The command to request both the product name and the firmware version is:
http://< address >/admin/channel1/get_params.cgi?product_name&firmware_version
To turn off publishing (i.e. set to 0) and set the bitrate (vbitrate) to 256,000:
http://< address >/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_type=0&vbitrate=256K
You can substitute https for http in the urls.
Third party applications like wget
If you’re using a third party application like wget to send commands to Pearl Mini, always include the admin
username and password when viewing or setting configuration items.
