Getting Started With the Web Server
Introduction to the
Web Server
Description and Function
The Web Server is a receiver-embedded, HTML-based
firmware application, designed to enable the receiver owner
(the “administrator”) to monitor and control the SP90m
GNSS receiver through a TCP/IP connection.
Running the Web Server for the First Time
As the receiver owner, after establishing a TCP/IP connection
between your computer and the receiver (via its Ethernet port
or via WiFi; see page 52 and page 47), do the following:
• Run a web browser on your computer.
• Type the IP address (or host name) of the receiver in the
web browser, then press the Enter key (see page 51).
This will launch the Web Server in the receiver, which in
turn will open a web page in the web browser.
Depending on how the Web Server has been configured,
you may be asked to log in. The first time you launch the
Web Server, use the default connection profile (the
“administrator profile”) to log in. This profile is the
following:
– Username: admin
– Password: password
You can customize the administrator profile by changing
the username and password. The Web Server will let you
do this from its Security page (see on-line Help file
attached to this page).
Security
The receiver owner may restrict the access to the Web Server
by implementing one of the three possible security levels
described below, sorted from the highest to the lowest
security level:
1. Enabled: On launching the Web Server, the user is
requested to log in by entering a username and password.
After having logged in, the user has full control over the
receiver (operation monitoring, access to configuration).
As the administrator, you may decide to share the
administrator profile (username and password) with other
trustworthy users. You may also create new connection
profiles for some other authorized users using $PASH
commands.
