Note: Firmware can be uploaded only one file at a time, and the WACI cannot be used for any other
purpose while in the upgrade mode.
Viewing Server Logs
Logs for the RPC, Web, and FTP servers may be monitored in the Logs section (see Log Files, page
of the Admin Web Pages:
•
RPC Server Info (see RPC Server Info, page
) tells you the version of the RPC server and
the available methods.
•
The RPC Server Commands log (see RPC Server Commands, page
) allows you to see all
HTTP Post calls made to the RPC server. It is typically used for debugging custom
applications and custom web pages.
•
The Event Manager Log logs information
about the status and execution of Events and
Actions. Errors generated during the execution of the Events and Actions are also written to
this log.
•
The log for FTP Server Connections and Commands (see FTP Server Connections &
Commands, page
) allows you to monitor activity on the WACI's FTP server. It is
typically used to examine user access and determine network needs.
•
The log for the Web Server (see Web Server, page
) allows you to monitor activity on the
WACI's Web server. It is typically used to examine user access, determine network needs,
and debug custom web pages.
Automating Tasks (The Event Manager)
The WACI has built-in, self-monitoring capabilities that will allow you to automate many tasks without
developing web pages or applications. The WACI can be configured to watch for specified states, or
“Events“, such as a time of day or a value on a port. At the time an Event is triggered, the WACI may
then perform some specified tasks, or “Actions”.
The options for these capabilities may be configured through the Event Manager page (see The Event
Manager, page
, in the Admin Web Pages.
Uploading Custom Web Pages
If you have frequently used tasks or want to facilitate administration of tasks, you may decide to develop
your own custom web pages. Typical reasons for custom web page development:
•
Streamlining operations, performing tasks efficiently.
•
Custom graphical user interface is required.
