Configuration Modes 
The embedded HTTP Server on the MultiConnect IP supports two configuration modes. This option is 
available when the http-page is set to serial (see Mandatory Setup instructions). 
• 
Host Configuration Mode 
• 
MultiConnect IP Configuration Mode (not supported at this point of time) 
In the Host Configuration Mode, the OEM’s embedded home page is sent to the remote browser. The 
page serves as a means of monitoring the host parameters live remotely. Further, the host parameters 
can be updated or configured through the browser. 
The MultiConnect IP Configuration Mode enables the configuration of the MultiConnect IP remotely 
through any standard Web browser. All parameters can be configured or their status can be viewed 
remotely through the interactive GUI provided. Further, vital statistics of the MultiConnect IP can be 
viewed remotely. 
 
Host Configuration Mode 
The Host Configuration Mode provides the OEM flexibility to design and implement a product-specific 
embedded Web page, which is stored, managed, and hosted by the MultiConnect IP module’s HTTP 
server on behalf of the host device. 
The OEM can design the Web page to contain the host parameters that will display live values for 
monitoring and for providing options for setting and configuring the host parameters remotely.   
The three essential components of host configuration are the: 
•  Parameter List 
•  HTML Page 
•  CGI Scripts 
Note: 
Certain File naming and size conventions are to be strictly adhered to and followed by the Web 
developer. See details later in this chapter. 
The Parameter List 
The OEM’s customized host HTML page, which is uploaded, may contain parameters (for 
Configuration or for Monitoring). All these parameters must be available in the Serial Device 
Parameter List
, which must be loaded onto the MultiConnect IP.  
The format of the Serial device parameter list is shown here: 
P<n>:Description:Type:Minimum:Maximum:<Data> 
n ranges from 0 to 99 
Description = Name of the parameter 
Type =  I: Integer 
 
S: String 
Minimum = If the Type is integer, corresponds to Minimum value. 
 If 
the 
Type is String, corresponds to Minimum no of characters.   
Maximum =  If the Type
