The Web Interface - Digi LTS 32 User Manual

The Web interface

A web interface is provided as an easy way to configure and monitor ConnectPort LTS products.
Configurable features are grouped into several categories. These categories vary by product;
examples include Network, Serial Port, Alarms, System, and Users. Most of the configurable
features are arranged by most basic settings on a page, with associated and advanced settings
accessible from that page. Serial-port configurations are classified into port profiles, or
configuration scenarios that best represents the environment in which the ConnectPort LTS product
will be used. Selecting a particular port profile configures the serial port parameters that are needed.
Advantages of the web interface include:

Ease of use, including point-and-click functionality and wizards that make configuration quick
and complete.

Secure access to devices.

No need for programming experience.

Port profiles simplify the configuration process.
A potential disadvantage of the web interface is that not all settings provided by the command-line
interface are displayed. However, the configuration settings in the web interface should be sufficient
for most users. If necessary, settings can be modified later from the command line. To access the
web interface, enter the ConnectPort LTS product's IP address or host name in a browser URL
window. The main menu of the web interface is displayed. For more information, see
"Configuration through the web interface.‖The web interface has a tutorial, accessed from the Home
page, and online help, accessed from the Help link on each page.
