WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

The Wave Relay

router provides an API for conﬁguring and monitoring the radio

outside of the management interface. The API runs over the on-board HTTPS

interface, allowing any program or package that submits requests according to the

HTTP protocol (RFC 2616) to communicate with the Wave Relay

. Some example

programs include custom programs written in Java or C/C++ as well as the Linux

“Curl” command.

A typical request to the Wave Relay

has the form:

https://192.168.5.88/management.cgi?password-

input=XXXXXX&command=param_get&name=WAVERELAY_

IP&name=WAVERELAY_NETMASK

This example URL has the following syntax:

• Protocol: must be https

• Address: use the assigned IP address for the Wave Relay

node (in this example:

192.168.5.88)

• Script name: must be management.cgi

• Required query string ﬁeld: password-input (the assigned management password

for the node)

• Required query string ﬁeld: command (the management command to be

performed)

• Additional query string ﬁelds: depend on the command. In this example, we are

executing the command param_get in order to request the values for the two

parameters with name=WAVERELAY_IP and name=WAVERELAY_NETMASK

Additional documentation on the Wave Relay

API can be found in the Wave Relay

Management API document available upon request.
