There are two different modes in which the Web Interface may operate in the gateway:
a)
Sever Mode
b)
Client Mode
Web Interface Gateway Server Configuration
1)
Server Mode
–
where the gateway acts as a web server and responds to HTTP POST and HTTP
Get requests from a web services client, such as a web browser or Excel.
a.
No special configuration is needed to configure the server side of the gateway. Skip to
the Web Interface Data Point List Configuration section of this manual and set up the
data points.
Web Interface Gateway Client Configuration
1)
Client Mode
–
is where the gateway acts as a web client and initiates a connection to a web
server, such as Apache or IIS (Internet Information Services). The gateway would then send all
configured data points to the web server cyclically in a HTTP POST operation.
a.
To configure the client side of the gateway, configure the Automatic Data Transfer to
User Host section. Then proceed with the rest of the Web Interface Data Point List
Configuration section of this manual.
b.
The gateway is always enabled as a server and may act as both a server and client at the
same time.
