1.413 NDSatCom-ACU6030-REST

This page describes the REST-HTTP based device driver and the device window for the ND SatCom antenna control unit ACU6030. It provides exaclty the same scope of functions as the older (terminal protocol based) version of the driver.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the antenna controller.

parameter description
address Enter the ACU's IP address here, including the pport nummber if this has to set to a non-standard value. Example: 10.10.0.1:9876
