Network Options - Advanced (Web-TiVo Server)

Note: The advanced network settings pages allow more control over network settings, making it easier to mess things up! We recommend using the standard network settings unless you need access to something specific that is not offered there.

The advanced network web/TiVo server configuration page allows more control over the web and TiVo servers:

Enable Web Server

Enables or disables the web server. The web server is accessible from a browser, and provides read-only access to the calls, contacts, and actions lists.

Enable TiVo Server

Enables or disables the TiVo server. The TiVo server provides read-only access to the calls, contacts, and actions lists from a TiVo Series 2 device with Home Media Option.

Port

Specifies the network port to be used for both (or either) the web and TiVo servers. It defaults to 80, which is the standard web server port. This should work unless you are running a separate web server on your computer which is already using port 80. The TiVo server broadcasts the connection information on the local network so any available port should work.

Server address

Specifies the IP address to use for machines with multiple IP addresses. In most cases two addresses appear in the drop-down list: "0.0.0.0", and the IP address of the computer. If multiple addresses appear (other than "0.0.0.0"), select the one on which you want to host the server, or "0.0.0.0" to host the server on all addresses.

•

The address "0.0.0.0" is special, as it refers to all addresses on the machine. This should normally be selected. When selected, you can access the server from the server machine by using the special addresses "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" as well as the machine's actual IP address. (The addresses "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" are standard references for the local machine, and are not defined by Ascendis Caller ID.) If you select a different IP address, then "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" will not work for accessing Ascendis Caller ID.

•

Machines with multiple addresses usually have multiple network interface cards (NICs), which access separate networks. One might access the internet, for example, and the other the internal network. In this case you must decide whether to make the server accessible to the internet or to the internal network, or both.

Web server requires authentication

When enabled, users will be required to enter the Username and Password as specified in the following items before viewing the web interface.

•

Username

Specifies the username the user must enter before accessing the web interface. This is only used if "Web server requires authentication" is enabled.

•

Password

Specifies the password the user must enter before accessing the web interface. This is only used if "Web server requires authentication" is enabled.

Web root

Specifies the folder containing the documents for the web server. If you want to modify the documents, you could make a copy, and set this to the folder containing your copy.

Saves any changes you made to the settings and closes the window.

Cancel

Closes the window without saving changes.
