Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MultiConnect Serial-to-Serial Adapter User Guide (S000354A) 137
Setup and Configuration
Prerequisite for Enabling the HTTP Server
Before being able to access the MultiConnect IP or the serial host through the Web browser, the HTTP
support on the MultiConnect IP needs to be enabled and configured.
The following configuration is mandatory and can be configured using CLI either through serial or through
Telnet.
Mandatory Setup for HTTP Server
set ip http enable
Successful execution of this command starts the HTTP daemon thus enabling the HTTP server.
set ip http port <port-number>
By default the HTTP server listens on port 80. However, the default port number can be changed.
set ip http-page <default/serial>
This command basically decides the Web page that will be displayed when the MultiConnect IP is
accessed through the browser.
Note: The default Index.htm is displayed when
• The http-page is set to default and
• The MultiConnect IP is accessed through the Web.
The default HTML page contains two links, one for the host configuration and another for the
MultiConnect IP configuration. Both these modes are described in subsequent sections.
Index.htm (Default Index Page)
In the event that the http-page is set to serial, the http-s0.HTML Web page will display upon accessing
the MultiConnect IP through the browser. (The Index.htm will not be accessible).
The http-s0.HTML Web page can be replaced by the OEM's Home Page specific to the product. More
details regarding design conventions, procedure for uploading, and hosting this page are explained later
in this chapter.
