5 - Remote access
Status and setup information can be accessed remotely either via
the network connection (using either the built in HTTP web server or
Telnet) or through the USB port.
During normal operation, remote access via the network interface
may be used to obtain status information. The USB port, together
with the supplied MC1000 Interface software application may be used
to obtain both status information and to adjust any settings that may
be programmed using the front panel switches.
The table below details what may be achieved using the different
access modes:

* PLEASE NOTE: Whilst it is possible to alter Linux system settings via the Telnet
interface, any changes will be lost when power to the unit is disrupted.
5.1 - Remote access via the network interface
System status and setup information may be accessed via the network
interface, using the integrated web server or Telnet.
5.1.1 - HTTP web page access
The MC1000 incorporates an integrated HTTP web server, allowing
system setup and status information to be accessed from a standard
web browser on your local area network. The web page shows
information relating to attached antenna systems, current network
settings, remote access availability and basic hardware/software
information.
To access the web page, enter the IP address of your MC1000 into
the address bar of a web browser (as shown in the example below
where 192.168.0.103 is the IP address of the MC1000):
http://192.168.0.103
An example web page is shown on the following page. By default,
HTTP access is enabled. Please refer to section 5.1.3 for details of
how to disable HTTP access.
For troubleshooting advice, please refer to appendix A.
