Netlinx Controller Web Interface

in NetLinx Studio
I thought I'd just pose a question, incase it's something that someone knows the answer off the top of their head. I'm not sure if this is possible, but it'd come in handy for me right now!

I'm wondering if there is a way of turning off the standard web interface built into a netlinx controller? The reason being is I'd like to hijack the web request and generate my own content from my program.

It works fine if I shift it up a port but then I have to call [url]www.mydevice.com:81[/url] from Internet Exploiter, which isn't particularly client friendly!!

It might not be possible, but if anyone knows a way I'd be most appreciative

    You should be able to change the port and/or disable the built-in web server using the web interface of the master (I would recommend changing the port number and not disabling). It's on the "Server" page under the "Manage System" tab. I haven't tried this, so I'm not sure if doing this will leave port 80 available to your application, but I think it will.

    If you are running DUET it might be easier to telnet in and use the command:

    set http port

    The web server on my DUET NI-700 is useless as it takes forever and a day to load.

    Thank you for that. I couldn't see for looking!

    I set the NI Web interface to 81, and use port 80 to generate content for mobile devices and it works great.

    Fully agree, after AMX switched to new Java web server apps, I try to avoid using that. Very, very slow and sometimes it just gets stuck in the middle. Hope AMX team is taking feedback on that... Basically if they use Duet it does mean they have to use full blown Java based web, I think it is overkill...

    Which webserver are you using?

    We are talking about standard web interface built into Netlinx controllers.

    Just out of interest. I've switched my web interface to port 81 and the instant I do that. The netlinx processor can no longer connect to the RMS server. Switch it back and it connects instantly.

    Anyone else noticed this one? I thought RMS soley communicated on port 3839 so what it's got to do with port 80 is beyond me!

    Yep. I found this out also as I turn off the web interface (https is still turned on if web interface is needed, which its not).
