WEB LCT APPLICATION

The WEB LCT application allows an user connecting to an equipment via his own machine (pc, workstation,etc.) using the operating system* and the Web browser at his disposal.

WEB LCT is an application resident in the equipment controller. It does not require any additional moduleinstalled on the user PC, except for the SCT/LMT program or the WEB Lct Console program, necessary toWEB LCT for the management of the file transfer between PC and equipment (FTP), of the serial/USB/mo-dem connection (PPP) and of the help on-line of WEB LCT (Help Web Server).

* For operating systems different from MS Windows, a FTP server, an Help WEB server and a PPP management modulemust be installed on ones PC.

The WEB LCT application can be started:

From browser (see Fig.1).

In this case, by means of the WEB LCT interface, it is possible to manage 2 machines at most:local equipment (equipment which you are connected to) and remote equipment (equipment de-fined as Remote Link in the remote equipment list of the local equipment).

From SCT/LMT program (see Fig.2).

In this case, the WEB LCT interface of the equipment selected by the SCT/LMT interface isopened.

Through the WEB LCT application, it is possible to manage:

The equipment configuration: radio configuration, capacity, modulation, RF channels, tributar-ies, parameters, etc. (pag.148).

The properties (identifier, addresses, reference date/time, etc.) and to execute the reset of theequipment software (pag.36).

The communication ports reserved to the local and remote supervision of the equipment(pag.38).

The stating Routing Table and the Default Gateway address currently used by the equipment(Running Routing Table and Running Default Gateway) (pag.44).

The static Routing Table and the Default Gateway address stored in the equipment (Stored Rout-ing Table and Stored Default Gateway) (pag.48).

The remote equipment list (pag.51).

The measures of Performance Monitoring (pag.56).
