Getting started
4.4 Using the web interface
Once the NAM is powered up and you have configured or determined its IP
address, you can access the web interface by entering the IP address of the
unit in the address bar of your web browser. You can use either HTTP or HTTPS:
HTTPS provides encrypted connections which are desirable if you are accessing
the NAM via an insecure network and essential if is connected to the public
Internet.
For example, if your NAM has an IP address of 192.168.0.101, you can access
its web interface by entering either
http://192.168.0.101
or
https://192.168.0.101
4.5 Operation
The NAM runs Platinum firmware which has been developed specifically for the
Güralp Systems range of data acquisition products, including the EAM and
n
TDE instruments. Platinum includes features for data collection, processing,
storage, forwarding and protocol conversion and well as digitiser and
instrument configuration and control facilities.
There are many features of Platinum firmware on the NAM which you may wish
to explore and enable. Full details are provided in the Platinum manual, MAN-
EAM-0003, which should be read in conjunction with this document and is
available for download from
www.guralp.com/documents/MAN-EAM-0003.pdf
The rest of this section discusses features of the NAM which differ from or are
not mentioned in the Platinum manual.
4.5.1 The LCD display
The front-panel LCD display is not mentioned in the Platinum manual: it scrolls
through several pages of status information, showing the same content as the
“System status” page of the web interface, including the current IP address.
4.5.2 Connectors
4.5.2.1 Platinum console - serial terminal
The upper serial terminal connector beside the VGA connector is not
configurable via Platinum: it is permanently configured as a terminal running at
115,200 Baud. You can access the command line of the NAM by connecting a
terminal emulator to this port. Set your emulator to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and
no parity bits (8-N-1) and disable both hardware (XON/XOFF) and software
(RTS/CTS) flow control.
