7.4 Web User Interface
The modem includes an embedded web server that allows full monitoring and
configuration of the modem via a web browser (available on port 80). Secure connections
via HTTPS (port 443) are also supported. Microsoft Internet Explorer V6.0 and above is
supported as standard. Paradise Datacom has a policy of avoiding the use of non-
standard browser extensions in its software wherever possible but cannot guarantee
correct operation with any other browser, although from time-to-time we do check
operation with other popular browsers.
In general, the web menus are structured in a similar way to those on the front panel LCD
display. Consequently, this section explains only those features of the web interface that
are different.
7.4.1
Logging In and Out
The philosophy behind user levels, login and control of the modem is explained in Section
7.1.
To connect to the web server from a web browser, ensure a suitable Ethernet cable is
connected into the Remote M&C RJ45 socket on the rear of the modem and from the
modem front panel enter (under Edit-Unit-M&C-IP Address) an IP address and subnet
mask that are compatible with your network. Then enter the modem's IP address into the
web browser address bar.
The browser will then request (as shown below) a user name and password (with the
default modem configuration these are admin (or user for view-only mode) and paradise
respectively. These details are sent in an encrypted form back to the modem. It is
recommended that passwords are changed from their default values.
