Controlling the L-Band Switch Matrix through the network is done by means of HTTP GET requests. Setting parameter values or querying readings or settings, all is done by requesting HTTP documents from the matrix. The message to the LSM thereby is coded into the URL as a CGI form parameter. The L-Band Switch Matrix replies a one line document of the MIME type 'text/plain'.
The document name for remote control is /rmt , hence (assuming the LSM is listening to the IP address 10.0.0.1), requesting a document with the URL
http://10.0.0.1/rmt?sver=?
will let the LSM reply the software version in a one line text document:
sver=1.010 2007-10-04
This way all parameters may be queried or set, you may use your favorite web browser to try out the remote control of the LSM manually.
