HTTP Interface

Packet Engine Pro has a build-in HTTP server which lets you have some access to its features and settings using an internet Web Browser. The number of features that can be accessed through this interface are limited and incomplete as now. It is possible that in a future version this interface will be improved to offer more complete access to PE Pro.

By default, the HTTP server is not enabled. You can enable it by checking the Enable the HTTP Interface box on this screen.

The server uses port number 80 by default, the standard port for HTTP servers. If you happen to be running another HTTP server on your computer, you may need to change the port number of one of the servers to avoid problems. If you change the port number for PE Pro's server, then you will need to specify that new port number when you enter the URL in the web browser. For example, if the port were changed to 82,  then the URL for the PE Pro HTTP server would change from http://127.0.0.1 to http://127.0.0.1:82

If you are connected to a network or the internet, then it is possible to access the PE Pro's server from a remote computer. In any browser enter the network IP address of the PE Pro computer and, if necessary, the alternate port number (not necessary if the port default of 80 was retained).

For security purposes, the server requires a Login name and Password to prevent unauthorized access from remote computers. The default words are "LOGIN" and "PASSWORD",  but you should change both of these to words of your own choice. Please note that the login checking routine is case sensitive, i.e. "LOGIN", "Login", and "login" will be treated as different words.

For more information about the features offered through the HTTP server, see Launch IE Browser or enter http://127.0.0.1 in your web browser after you have started PE Pro and enabled the interface.
