Running the Script
Scripts are either edited with the built-in editor (see section 6.2) or uploaded via FTP.
Suppose you have edited the script on the PC, in a file called c:\tcpsettings, (the file
extension conventions regarding WebScript files say that they have no extension!) you do
the following:
1. Connect via FTP from the PC to the WebNet: ftp 192.168.4.10
2. Log in with username admin and password admin (unless you have changed them)
3. Change directory to the cgi-bin directory, where the scripts reside: cd cgi-bin
4. Upload the file: put c:\tcpsettings tcpsettings
You can check that the file has arrived safely by typing dir , which shows the files in the
cgi-bin directory, with size information. When the script is located in cgi-bin, you run it
by typing in the URL:
The web page appearing should be the expected list of TCP/IP settings.
The setup part of the above url is a logical path that “points to” the cgi-bin physical
path on the WebNet. This is for historical reasons.
7.5
Debugging Scripts
Perhaps the script fails, probably meaning that you have made a typing mistake somewhere
in the script. You can then use the built-in editor to correct the mistake, instead of ftp’ing
the script back on the PC, editing it, and uploading it again. See section 6.2 for more
information on the built-in editor.
If you are more in doubt about what went wrong, you may want to try the WebScript
debugger described in section 6.5. You will have to copy/paste the code into the debugger,
