Web Server

6 Web Server
6.1 General Information
The built-in web server provides a flexible environment for end-user interaction and
configuration purposes. JSON, SSI and client-side scripting allow access to objects and file system
data, enabling the creation of advanced graphical user interfaces.
The web interfaces are stored in the file system, which can be accessed through the FTP server. If
necessary, the web server can be completely disabled in the Ethernet Host Object (F9h).

6.2 Default Web Pages
The default web pages provide access to:
• Network configuration parameters
• Network status information
• Access to the host application ADIs
The default web pages are built of files stored in a virtual file system accessible through the vfs
folder. These files are read only and cannot be deleted or overwritten. The web server will first
look for a file in the web root folder. If not found it will look for the file in the vfs folder, making it
appear as the files are located in the web root folder. By loading files in the web root folder with
exactly the same names as the default files in the vfs folder, it is possible to customize the web
pages, replacing such as pictures, logos and style sheets.
If a complete customized web system is designed and no files in the vfs folder are to be used, it
is recommended to turn off the virtual file system completely, see the File System Interface
Object.
