In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content
that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle
brackets shall also be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server,
denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, which is replaced with the string
myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.
URL syntax is written with the word “

reference syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended

"thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.
