Web control – Using the Built-in website
Modex transceivers have several configuration options. More settings are available using
the built-in website than on the front panel. You can access the website through any
Ethernet connector of the Modex.
5.1. Network Structure
MODEX extenders have a front panel Ethernet port. Additional rear-side Ethernet
connectors are available as interface modules. All of the connectors and the controller
entity belong to the same network inside the Modex. Ethernet link is also transferred to
the connected pair via physical layer link (optical or twisted pair). Connect any RJ45
connector of the TX or the RX to a LAN and you can control both units. Do not connect
more than one port of the Modex pair to the same LAN to avoid loops.
