acIIIpro tcp/ip questions

[whodah]

heya!

a few technical tcp/ip questions on the ACIIIpro.

1. it appears that the port to access the ACIIIpro is port 80. (i gathered this by not seeing any port settings in the downloaded manual) can that be changed?
2. can you do programming via the tcp/ip connection? or just do monitoring? (i.e. can you change your temperature offset, or change one of the lighting times?)
3. if you can monitor and control: is monitoring (or getting a current parameter readout) and programming done on the same tcp/ip port? (i.e. can u use a firewall to restrict the programming port's access while leaving the monitoring port's access open?)
4. can the tanks parameters be read w/out needing to log on? i.e. when you visit the acIIIpro's 'site', are the temperature/ph/orps immediatly available? or do you need to log on first to see them?

thanks!

1. Currently the http port settings can't be changed.
2. Yes, you can program the unit through tcp/ip (http - forms). The configuration offsets are currently not changeable through http, but they can be changed in AquaNotes through tcp/ip.
3. The http server is password protected; all read and write access is on the same port.
4. You must log on to see the readings.

couple follow ups (of course - ha!)

1. are there plans to allow offset changes through the web interface? (via firmware updates) or more directly - plans to make the acIIIpro 100% not dependent on aquanotes?
2. can the user/pass be fed via the url of the controller to allow easy progromatic off-site polling? i.e. http://123.123.123.123/poll.cgi?user=joe&pass=blow or something to that effect?

thx Curt!

1. Yep, that is the plan - waiting on a compiler fix/optimization...
2. The login/password info is passwd encrypted cookie in the http request. Your application would have to do the same.
