NFN Web Server User’s Manual PN 51990:A2 12/02/03 25
*
The following fields must be configured to run the NFN Web Server:
IP address for connection to Notifier - This is the actual IP address where the Web Server will be located. Type the
address by double clicking on the data field to the right of the description field. The user will type this address into a
browser in order to establish a connection with the Web Server. If the Web Server is to be used on the internet, you
may need to independently set up a router and/or firewall so the internet-based applications can locate and access the
Web Server. Contact your MIS department for details. To actually connect to the Web Server requires use of TCP/IP
port 8888; for example, if the NWS is located at 10.4.2.1, one would type the following into the browser window to
connect to the Web Server.:
http://10.4.2.1:8888/
Data Field
Description Field
Subnet Mask - This is the IP subnet mask that the Web Server should use to determine whether a connection came
from a local network, or should be routed on to another network (see previous setting). All of the IP settings for the
Web Server must be on the same subnet for communications to be established between the Web Server and a browser.
IP address for routing back to Internet - This sets the IP of a router that the Web Server can use to locate the
browser with which it is communicating. This simply sets a path for the Web Server to use to communicate back with
the connecting browser.
IP address assigned to PPP (modem) - This sets the IP that the Web Server will assign to a computer when that
computer attempts to connect to the Web Server over the modem connection. The Web Server acts as a PPP server with
regard to a client computer on the modem connection, and one of its responsibilities is to assign the client’s IP for
purposes of the given modem session. This parameter is optional; if it is not intended that a browser be used to
establish communications via a modem, it can be omitted.
NCM Threshold and Network Styles - The NCM threshold can be set to high or low, and the network style can be set
to style 4 or style 7. Rrefer to the NCM documentation for more details on these fields.
