Appendix A. Using the Web Interface
The Web interface supports managing the most common configuration parameters and viewing the status
of the STM SatLink Terminal. The Web-browsers currently supported are Microsoft Internet Explorer
6.0, but other browsers like e.g. Opera 8.x normally works fine as well. The functions available via the
Web-interface are:
•
Viewing status information for the satellite interface
•
Viewing traffic statistics
•
Viewing device information
•
Viewing status of the DHCP server
•
Configuring the most common satellite interface parameters
•
Configuring the most common IP parameters
•
Return link line-up procedure
Advanced functions such as adding SW licenses, configuring GRE tunnels, downloading software
updates manually, configuring automatic software updates, configuring system information, adding users
and changing password, configuring SNMP access, and adding manual IP routes are only available from
the CLI via Telnet or the RS-232 port. If experiencing any problems using the Web interface for
management of the STM SatLink Terminal, please use the CLI via Telnet or RS-232 as a work-around for
the problem.
The NAT status and configuration web pages are only available if this SW option is authorised by
installing the necessary license key for the NAT functionality.
To manage the SatLink terminal via the Web interface, start the web browser and type in the IP address of
the STM SatLink Terminal in the address field as shown in Figure 14 below. Use the STM SatLink
Terminal’s Satellite Interface (DVB) IP address when connecting to the terminal over the satellite link
(from the Gateway), and the STM SatLink Terminal’s LAN (Ethernet) IP address when connecting to the
terminal from the local LAN. Then enter the username and password to logon to the terminal.
