Web Interface
You typically use the Web Interface to change the Telnet password. To display this interface,
open a browser and enter the IP address of the set top box. After logging in, click on the
Account
tab to change the Telnet password; click on the
Status
tab to display the IP Address,
Firmware Version, and other data. To launch the Web Interface, open a browser and enter the
IP address of the set top box.
Disabling the Web Interface
In some cases you may wish to disable access to the Web Interface so that external browsers
cannot connect to the internal web server. Normally the page associated with this web server
allows you to view certain STB information and also allows you to set the Telnet password.
For internet security reasons, you may not want this page to appear or the port to be opened.
This can be accomplished by editing the
config.txt
file. Open the file and search for
stb.webserver.enable: 1
in the
Web Service Setting
section (see Editing Config.txt on
page 49). Simply change the 1 to a 0 and save the file back to the STB. Now nothing will be
returned when a user attempts to browse to the set top box using http.
# Set 0 to disable stb web server
