1- Admin GUI:
(Graphical User Interface)
The Admin GUI is essentially a collection of Web pages that an administrator
can use to manage a MultiNet System. You can use a web browser to access
the Admin GUI Web pages. The Web browser can be run on a workstation
with access to the MultiNet Receiver’s network or from the Web browser
included in the MultiNet Receiver’s installed software packages.
If accessing the Web pages from a network workstation use the IP
address of the MultiNet receiver as configured in Section 5.
Default for Receiver would be:
http://192.168.0.101/Admin/home.php
If accessing the Web pages from the MultiNet Receiver’s keyboard
and monitor use the following URL:
http://localhost/Admin/home.php.
The Admin GUI is a php program that allows the operator Admin, to modify
the server’s configuration, Add Business Units (configure the delivery
program if any) and Add Subscriber Units.
