Example

GET /api/param?network.interface.subnetmask HTTP/1.1<CRLF>

Accept: text/plain<CRLF>

Host: 192.168.0.2<CRLF>

These APIs for getting/setting parameters are protected by basic authentication. Authorization line needs to include encoded username and password. There are 3 types of usernames, namely admin, operator and user. Available APIs are different for each username. Join the user name and the password using a colon, Base64 encode this character string and enter this in the Authorization line.

For example, when User name admin Password vn-v686

then the character string joining the user name and the password with a colon is: admin:vn-v686

Base64 encoding of this string yields YWRtaW46dm4tdjY4Ng==. Enter this in the Authorization line. Default password for each username is vn-v686.
