8. Discovery Process
Apart from the main application, the device runs a process in the background that listens to discovery requests and can make
changes to the network settings when requested by the client application.
8.1. Accessing webpage functionality without a browser
In addition to the web pages hosted by the internal web server, there is a headless HTML command interface. This
command.cgi interface is meant to be used via scripting and can do things like trigger the relay, reboot the board, or start
and stop calls.
The examples below use the free unix utility wget but any program that can send authenticated http POST commands
should work.

To trigger the relay (for the

8.2. RESET Switch
• The RESET switch is used to get the IP address of the device or reset to factory defaults.
• Press and release the RESET switch within a
5
second window and it will speak the IP address through the on
board speaker.
• Press and hold the RESET switch for
5
seconds and it will indicate it’s restoring defaults and rebooting the
board.
8.3. Testing the hardware
The hardware can be tested using a utility started manually in the debug console. This is called the
t test
because it is
initiated by pressing the
t
button at the console.
The
t test
will show a menu that will change when the user presses buttons or activates inputs.
