Confi guration
The Web Server Parameters Menu allows the following parameters to be
defined. Please note that all parameters listed here are available via both the
Web Browser Interface and Text Interface.
Service: Enables/Disables the RPS’s Web Server. Note that when the
Web Server is disabled, you will not be able to communicate via the Web
Browser Interface. (Default = On.)
Port Number: Sets the TCP/IP Port Number. The Port Number can be
set to any valid number except 23; this is because 23 is the default port
number that is used for communication with the unit via Telnet.
(Default = 80.)
5.4. Save Configuration Parameters
The RPS offers two methods for saving parameters; Saving to Memory, and
Saving to an ASCII File.
Saving parameters to memory ensures that your user-defined configuration
will remain intact if power to the RPS is temporarily interrupted. After the
configuration menus have been used to change parameters, the RPS will
prompt you to save parameters before exiting from Command Mode. At this
point, the RPS offers the options to Save parameters, continue without saving,
or revert to the previously saved parameters.
Saving Parameters to an ASCII file allows you to create a "backup" of your
currently defined configuration. As described in Section 7, this provides quick
recovery in the event that the unit is accidentally reset to default parameters,
and also allows you to copy parameters to other RPS units when several units
need to be configured with the same parameters.
Notes:
After new Parameters have been applied, the RPS will display
a "Save" prompt. In the Web Browser Interface, this prompt
appears when you leave the configurations menus. In the Text
Interface, the "Save" prompt appears when you disconnect
from the unit. At this point, you have the option of saving new
parameters to memory, continuing without saving, or reverting
to previously saved parameters.
If parameters have not been saved, and if power to the RPS
is interrupted, newly defined parameters will be lost. When
power is restored, the unit will then be configured with the
previously saved parameters.
