5. Web interface

Every UFX 314 has a web interface that can be reached by entering the IP address for the demultiplexer in a web browser. You can determine the address using USW 30 or KUBdate.

5.1 The main page

The main page is divided into two areas, at the top the serial number, IP address and other links for the demultiplexer and below a list of all demultiplexers found, sorted by groups. All the links for a demultiplexer can be password-protected. The password is the same as for the PPP access and can be set using USW 30. As supplied, no password is set and access is therefore open.

5.1.1 The device group box

You can open the log using “View Log”. Using the “Switch Debuglog” command you can enable and disable the storage of debug messages in the log. However, only new messages will be affected. You can clear the log using “Clear Log” and reset the status LEDs on the device. The “View Unit Status” link opens a page with more detailed information. You can re-start the UFX 314 using “Restart Unit”. Using “Tagging on” you can make the 12 port LEDs flash for around one minute so that the unit can be identified.

You can open the web update using “Update Unit”. With “Informations about used Opensource Licences” you can open an overview of the open source used in the device and the text for the related licences.

You will also find both these items here in the manual in section 7.1 or in the appendix.

5.1.2 The system group box

The devices are sorted by groups. For each group the number in hexadecimal notation and the comment defined by the user are displayed. The group number is a link to the base unit in each system. Each demultiplexer is displayed in a dedicated line. The serial number is also a link to the main page for the related unit. If you are already on the main page for a unit, the related links are not available. After the serial number there is a schematic diagram of the demultiplexer.

The diagram is divided into three parts. The three status LEDs can be seen on the right. The port LEDs are at the bottom left. The channel units connected are shown at the top left using blue squares. The information on the diagram refreshes automatically if JavaScript is enabled, or when the page is reloaded. Beside the diagram there is a link to the log, a link for re-starting the unit and links to enable and disable the flashing of all 12 port LEDs.

5.2 Log page

At the top the Log window contains a list of all error messages that have occurred. These error messages are stored in non-volatile memory by the UFX 314 and can also still be read after a reset. The time information in the error message is also a link to the related message in the bottom part of the window. The UFX 314 does not have a dedicated clock, the time is therefore calculated from each start starting from 1.1.1970 at 0:00 hours.

Old error messages are not deleted automatically. For this reason the user should delete the messages using the link on the main page, once they are no longer required. The bottom part of the window contains the current messages. The current messages are deleted each time the device is started. Older messages are also automatically deleted if there is not enough space. Error messages are listed here again so that they can be analysed in context. All messages are colour-coded:

Grey font on white background

Black font on white background

White font on green background

White font on blue background

Black font on yellow background

Red font on yellow background

Yellow font on red background

Debug messages

Normal information

Message that the device is ready for operation after a restart.
