5.2 Differences between Configuration Methods
There are four significant differences between using the web browser for configuration and using the
stand-alone program.
1. A web browser requires you to know a valid IP address for the EM1500 before it can be contacted. The
stand-alone program can make contact with an EM1500 on its same LAN prior to an IP address being
assigned to the unit.
2. The “
” option on the “General” tab of the stand-alone program is not available when
using the web browser. The ability to enable/disable encryption of the configuration data using a
browser would make the unit vulnerable to tampering.
3. Along the same lines as #2, the setting of a login name and password can be done from the stand-alone
program only.
4. Multiple units may be configured during one session with the stand-alone program. A web browser may
only point to one unit at a time. Of course, you can always open multiple browsers
Beyond the fact that you submit an HTML form via HTTP when using a web browser for configuration, as
opposed to the stand-alone program’s more direct method of sending a configuration packet via TCP, the
other differences between the two configuration methods are mainly cosmetic.
The status/debug area of the stand-alone program is always visible on the left-side of the program window.
When using a web browser, you must click on “Connections” to access the HTML form containing the
equivalent status and control buttons.
To the left of “Connections” is a link labeled, “About.” This displays some information about the
EM1500, including its MAC address.
