This page describes the Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device driver and the device window for this driver.
The Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device is used in a Viprinet hub hotspare configuration consisting of main and backup hub. After the backup hub has replaced the main hub, a manual release via the webpage is necessary. This driver is used to release the temporary replacement Hub from replacing the main hub via the sat-nms M&C System.
The Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device driver is part of a group of device drivers used to monitor the Viprinet Hub / Router device family and thereby taking into account the modular concept of these devices:
Viprinet-HUB-SNMP monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Hub device like temperature and cpu load - not VPN tunnel details. Control of parameters is not possible.
Viprinet-Tunnel-SNMP monitors the status and performance of one VPN tunnel in a Viprinet Hub and not the Hub itself. There is one instance of this device to configured for each VPN tunnel to monitor. Control of parameters is not possible.
Viprinet-Rugged-Router-SNMP monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the general state of the router's WAN interfaces. Control of parameters is not possible.
Viprinet-Rugged-Router-HTTPS monitors detailed status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the detailed state of the router's WAN interfaces. It permits to reconnect / reset each individual WAN interface and also control of WiFi access point, Roaming and APN.
The Viprinet Hub, Tunnel and Router SNMP device drivers are monitoring only. A Viprinet Router is controlled over the HTTPS device driver and the Viprinet-HTTPS protocol.
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 .
--- The control page.
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.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 device.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The IP address of the device to control in 'dotted quad' notation. The address may be followed by a port number, separated by a colon. If no port number is specified, the HTTPS standard port (443) is used. |
| userName | The user name to log in at the Viprinet Web-GUI. The default value used by Viprinet routers out of the box is 'root'. |
| password | The password to log in at the Viprinet Web-GUI. The default value used by Viprinet routers out of the box is 'viprinet'. |
During normal operation the driver is not logged in at the Viprinet Hub. Once the button "release hub" is pressed, the device driver performs a login and trigger the release procedure. Both Viprinet Hubs perform a reboot and go back to normal operation state as main hub and standby hub.
