USING THE WEB SERVER INTERFACE

(WSI)

General

This chapter describes the use of the WSI for configuring and monitoring the

SLM-5650A Modem Router in a Vipersat network. Each web page related to an

SLM-5650A operating in Vipersat mode is presented, along with a detailed

description of the available commands. For descriptions of all other screens,

refer to the SLM-5650A Installation and Operation Manual.

Web (HTTP) access to the SLM-5650A is provided through the NP (Network

Processor) card Ethernet traffic switch, and requires login with password. The

physical LAN connection is made to one of the following RJ-45 interfaces:

• When operating with Router Mode set to Router, one of the four Ethernet

ports, 1–4, on the NP card should be used.

• When operating with Router Mode set to BPM (Bridge Point-to-

Multipoint), network management can only be performed using the J5

Ethernet port on the base modem.

The pages presented in this document are as they appear when the SLM-5650A

is accessed using the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.

A Web connection is made by entering the target SLM-5650A NP IP address

into the browser address field. The factory default IP address for a Vipersat-

enabled unit is

192.168.1.177/24. The SLM-5650A responds with a Login

prompt. The factory defaults are:
