Using the Web Server

Managing the

Connection

Profiles

Managing connection profiles can be done directly from the
ProFlex Web Server after you have logged in as the
administrator. In this context, go to the

Configuration tab and

use the

Advanced Setup menu (Administrator and Users

submenus) to make the required changes.

The default administrator profile is defined as follows:

• Login: admin

• Password: changeme

Local Settings for

the Receiver

Administrator & IT

Manager

You should inform your IT Manager of the following before he/
she can set up the connection:

• The ProFlex 800 is not fitted –and cannot be fitted– with

a firewall. If a firewall is needed in your local network, it
should be installed on a device other than the ProFlex
800.

• The Ethernet port and the DHCP mode are active by

default.

• TCP/IP port #80 is used by default in the receiver.

If however, the default settings have been changed in the
receiver, you may have to do the following:

• Turn on the Ethernet port.

Use the command below to power up the Ethernet port:

$PASHS,ETH,ON

When the port is on and connected, the Ethernet icon
appears in the lower-right corner of the receiver screen. By
default, the Ethernet port is on.

• Set the DHCP mode or assign a static IP address.

Use the command below:

$PASHS,ETH,PAR

The syntax of these two commands is fully described in the
ProFlex 800 Reference Manual, Set Command Library
Chapter.

To make a connection with the receiver:

1. You should know for certain that the remote ProFlex 800

has properly been connected to the LAN via its Ethernet
port. Otherwise no connection will be possible.
