Connecting to a Web Browser
Many Web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator, support FTP. It is possible to access the Modulator using FTP
from a browser. Access is limited to retrieving log, configuration and
Dynamic Pre-corrector files.
To connect to the Modulator via a Web browser, use the following address
format:
ftp://<user>:<password>@<IP Address>
Replace
<user>
with your user name,
<password>
with your password, and
<IP Address>
with the address of the Modulator. For example, the
following address will connect the root user to a Modulator on address
192.168.55.3:
ftp://root:root@192.168.55.3
CAUTION…
Most WEB browsers keep a history of pages visited. To prevent others from finding your user name and
password for the Modulator, be sure to clear the history after use.
