Chapter 7. BASE MODEM HTTP
7.1

Overview

This chapter describes the functionality of the SLM-5650A's Base Modem HTTP Interface. The
operational parameters available from this non-secure interface's HTTP pages complement
operation of the SLM-5650A's front panel menus.

Base Modem HTTP Interface Introduction

A user-supplied web browser allows the full monitor and control (M&C) of the SLM-5650A from
its Base Modem HTTP Interface. The SLM-5650A's embedded web applications are designed
for, and work best with, Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or higher (the examples shown
use Internet Explorer Version 7.0).
See Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION and the Remote Commands Specifications
tables found in Appendix D. REMOTE CONTROL for detailed descriptions of the
configuration parameters featured on the individual HTTP pages shown in this chapter.

HTTP Interface Availability via Secure Management Interfaces

Chapter 8.6 NETWORK PROCESSOR (NP) HTTP/HTTPS INTERFACE
Chapter 10. TRANSEC MODULE HTTPS INTERFACE
The Management Security option is not available for the SLM-5650A's base modem operations.
Non-secure network management operations therefore apply as follows:
Non-secure Serial-based network management is allowed via Telnet, using the Base
•
Modem's J10 Remote EIA-232/485 Type 'DB-9F' serial port.
• Non-secure Ethernet-based network management is allowable via the HTTP Interface
browser and SNMPv2 interfaces, using the Base Modem's J5 Ethernet RJ-45 port.
For modems with installed upgrades (i.e., the Network Processor (NP) Interface and/or the
TRANSEC Module Interface), enhanced Web interface functionality is afforded through the
dedicated HTTP/HTTPS interfaces provided with those upgrades. The NP HTTP/HTTPS
Interface, specifically, is designed to be used as an enhanced version of the Base Modem HTTP
Interface featured in this chapter.
