Ethernet Connection
the IP address (and IP port) or host name of the HDS800 to
be able to establish a communication with the receiver.
HDS800 used in client mode : The HDS800 sends a data
request to an outside equipment through its Ethernet port via
a TCP/IP connection. The HDS800 needs to know the IP
address (and IP port) or host name of the outside equipment
to be able to establish a bidirectional communication with
the outside equipment.
Running the Web
Server
The Web Server is used to remotely configure and monitor the
HDS800. Using the Web Server is fully described in Using
the Web Server on page
39
. Below are a few key instructions
on how to use the Web Server:
• The $PASHS,WEB,PAR command controls locally the
availability of the Web Server for a remote user or
administrator. Only the receiver owner can run this
command locally.
• Access to the Web Server is protected. A connection
profile (login + password) is needed to run the Web Server.
Full access (read/write) is given to the administrator.
Read-only access is given to all user profiles.
• Use a web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, etc.) to launch the Web Server. Enter the IP
address or host name of the HDS800 in the Address box
of the web browser. The different web pages of the Web
Server, which are all html pages, can then be seen in the
web browser window.
• The HDS800 will keep operating normally with one or
more active connections to the Web Server.
• Up to five users + the administrator can be connected
simultaneously without affecting the operation of the
receiver.
Connection to a
Remote FTP Server
The Ethernet port can be used both for downloading and
installing a new firmware upgrade from the specified FTP
server, and also for uploading raw data files collected by the
receiver to the specified FTP server, which may be different
from the previous one. Below are a few key instructions on
how to use this application:
• In this type of connection, the HDS800 is always the
client.
• Entering the identification of the FTP server from which to
download firmware upgrades is accomplished using the
$PASHS,UPL,PAR command.
