2.4 Web Interface
The Atheros AP reference design includes a simplified web interface that can be used to configure the AP in various
modes. These pages provide both configuration and status information. All pages are processed using the cgiMain
program described in section 2.2. Each of these pages contains related information that can be used to configure the AP.
Note that default values are automatically provided to the web interface. These defaults are encoded in the
/etc/ath/apcfg file, and can be modified as required for a particular implementation
Each web page has the buttons:
Update This button accepts the changes on the current page. If the current page is switched, the
updates are NOT saved, so click update if you want to save what you changed on the page.
Reboot This button will reboot the AP. This performs a quick reboot, without closing any open files.
Use with care.
Commit This button commits the parameters in the parameter cache (
/tmp/.apcfg
) to the flash area.
This saves the parameters through reboot cycles.
Start This starts the AP using the
/etc/ath/apup
script. This script reads configuration information
from flash/cache, and applies the parameters using the sub-scripts described in the following
sections.
Stop This brings the AP driver and hostapd software down using the
/etc/ath/apdown
script. This
performs a graceful shutdown of the AP.
In addition, the main network page includes a “factory reset” button that reapplies the parameters encoded in the
/etc/ath/apcfg file.
